Ground drones for Ukraine: ARX Robotics wins major order for more Gereon systems
German UGV manufacturer ARX Robotics is delivering more Gereon ground drones to Ukraine and producing some of them locally. Networked via Mithra OS, this grows what the manufacturer calls the world's largest military robotics fleet.
Ground drone swarms: Swarmbotics AI bets on ground swarm robotics with Fire Ant
One operator, many small robots: with Fire Ant, Arizona start-up Swarmbotics AI is developing low-cost, modular robots for ground drone swarms. They are intended to bring reconnaissance and attack closer to the enemy without putting soldiers at risk.
Unmanned systems combined: ARX Robotics and Helsing demonstrate recce-strike with British Army in Kenya
At “Haraka Storm” in Kenya, ARX Robotics and Helsing ran through the entire chain with British soldiers: a UGV reconnoitres, an HX-2 strikes. The exercise showed how unmanned systems keep troops at a distance and let them act faster.
Ground drones for Ukraine: Netherlands funds more than 150 Themis from Milrem Robotics

Ground drone Havoc 8×8: Milrem Robotics shows armed Robotic Combat Vehicle at DSEI
Kongsberg turret, 30-millimetre cannon and missiles from Frankenburg Technologies: the Havoc ground drone celebrated its European premiere at DSEI 2025. Experience with the Themis in Ukraine has fed into its design.
Ground drones: ARX Robotics shows Combat Gereon UGV with Valhalla weapon station
For the first time, ARX Robotics is making one of its ground drones combat-capable: Combat Gereon carries the Loki weapon station from Valhalla Turrets and is meant to make first contact robotically. The system is on show at DSEI UK 2025 in London.
Ground drone Themis: Milrem Robotics and Frontline put an automatic grenade launcher on the UGV
Ground drone with 40-millimetre armament: live-fire trials in Ukraine have validated the combination of the Buria weapon station and Themis. Further tests are to clarify how the system performs in different combat scenarios.
Ground drones from Munich: ARX Robotics raises 31 million euros in Series A round
HV Capital leads the round, with Omnes Capital, NATO Innovation Fund and Project A participating. The Munich-based ground drone maker plans to scale up production massively, expand across Europe and further develop Mithra OS.
Unex ground drone: Ukraine approves amphibious all-terrain vehicle for its armed forces
More than 70 platforms took part in the country's largest UGV test. One of them, the amphibious Unex ground drone, was approved by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence on 17 April – with low-pressure tyres, electric drive and several variants.
ARX Robotics expands to Britain: headquarters in London, production planned in South West England
ARX Robotics plans to invest a good 50 million euros in a British production and research site. Support comes from UK Defence Secretary John Healey and from the NATO Innovation Fund.
Unmanned ground vehicles from Egypt: Havelsan and Kader agree joint UGV production
Turkey supplies technology and licences, Egypt the manufacturing: Havelsan and Kader Factory, part of the AOI, plan to build unmanned ground vehicles together. Both sides speak of more than a technology transfer.
