THeMIS UGVs can be utilised for a wide
range of missions, including logistics, casualty evacuation,
reconnaissance, and, equipped with remote weapon systems, for
combat operations, making them invaluable assets for modern armed
forces. The vehicle on display at DSA is configured to transport
cargo and for casualty evacuation. The same systems are

The THeMIS UGV is an operationally proven multi-role UGV that
considerably enhances combat effectiveness while reducing manpower
requirements. These vehicles can be utilised for a wide range of
missions, including logistics, casualty evacuation, reconnaissance,
and, equipped with remote weapon systems, for combat operations,
making them invaluable assets for modern armed forces.
The vehicle on display at DSA is configured to transport cargo
and for casualty evacuation. The same systems are combat-proven and
are currently deployed in Ukraine. The Royal Thai Army is using a
combat THeMIS UGV.
“UGVs, equipped with advanced technologies and autonomous
capabilities, are already playing a crucial role in assisting and
even replacing soldiers on the battlefield. These cutting-edge
systems not only enhance operational efficiency but also
significantly mitigate risks to human life,” explained Patrick E.
Shepherd, Chief Sales Officer of Milrem Robotics.
“Moreover, the deployment of UGVs reduces the burden on human
troops, allowing them to focus on strategic planning and
higher-level tasks while delegating repetitive or dangerous
missions to autonomous systems,” Shepherd added.
THeMIS UGVs are equipped with Milrem Robotics’ Intelligent
Functions Kit – MIFIK – that leverages state-of-the-art artificial
intelligence and machine learning algorithms and allows operators
to plan missions using waypoint navigation and set en-route vehicle
behaviours. The UGVs can operate autonomously in complex and
dynamic environments, drastically reducing the need for human
intervention and reducing the need for large manpower
deployments.
The THeMIS UGV is part of robotics programs in 16 different
countries internationally, eight of which are members of NATO,
including Estonia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain,
the UK, and the US.
At DSA, the THeMIS Cargo can be found in the UAE Pavilion in
hall 3, stand 3900.
Milrem Robotics is the leading European robotics and autonomous
systems developer and systems integrator, with offices in Estonia,
Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the US. The company is known
for their THeMIS and Multiscope UGVs, the Type-X Robotic Combat
Vehicle and MIFIK.
