Why So Many Nations Want The THeMIS Unmanned Ground Vehicle

The THEMIS (Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry System) is a remotely controlled Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). It was designed by MILREM Robotics ( @Milrem ) a newly established Estonian company. The UAE’s EDGE Group PJSC (‘EDGE Group’ or ‘EDGE’), one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, has announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Estonia-based Milrem Robotics, Europe’s leading developer of robotics and autonomous systems. The transaction is the largest foreign investment in Estonia’s growing defence industry, and will see Milrem Robotics join EDGE as a new entity within its Platforms & Systems cluster, complementing the group’s existing multi-domain capabilities. Established in 2013, Milrem Robotics’ mission is to provide innovative robotic solutions for challenging environments. It specialises in the development of intelligent unmanned ground vehicles, robotic warfare solutions, Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and doctrine-level warfare analysis. Its main products are the THeMIS and Multiscope unmanned ground vehicles, the Type-X unmanned combat vehicle, and the MIFIK land vehicle autonomy package. The first two are intended to support dismounted soldiers and for commercial purposes such as forestry and firefighting, respectively. The Type-X is a wingman for mechanised defence units.
