Milrem Introduces UGV at Singapore Airshow
At the Singapore Airshow 2020, Milrem Robotics, a leading manufacturer of unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), introduced its mission proven, fifth generation THeMIS UGV designed to assist soldiers on the battlefield while enhancing their combat effectiveness.
Deployed in Mali, Africa during the French lead anti-insurgent operation Barkhane since early 2019, the fifth generation THeMIS incorporates all the knowledge gained during rigorous tests held in the U.S., Europe and Singapore.
During various live military exercises, the British Army, U.S. Marines, the Royal Dutch Army, Latvian, and Estonian Defence Forces have deployed the UGV. The Defence Technology Institute of Thailand will soon be evaluating the THeMIS for its suitability for the country’s armed forces.
The THeMIS UGV is in serial production and has already been delivered to Indonesia, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, France, U.S. and the UK in logistics configuration intended to provide combat support and carry supplies with an option to integrate additional kinetic or non-kinetic payloads.
This tracked multipurpose UGV can be equipped with remote weapon systems, tethered drones, C-IED solutions and ISR sensors. The fifth generation THeMIS incorporates NATO STANAG standards in the vehicle’s architecture, safety, air transportability, power offload and other aspects.
In addition, the UGV has been equipped with autonomous functions including point-to-point navigation, obstacle detection and avoidance, enabling it to follow dismounted troops, patrol a perimeter, provide front line resupply and evacuate casualties with minimal intervention by the operator.
