The integration of Combat Gereon was developed and tested in a European-Ukrainian campaign with Frontline, shaped by feedback from Ukrainian end users. ARX also worked with Valhalla on a parallel integration, focusing on weapons systems and aligning the platform with certification and fielding requirements for European armed forces.
Combat Gereon will be presented at DSEI UK 2025 in London between 9–12 September. It will be demonstrated with Valhalla Turrets’ LOKI remote-controlled weapon station, showing modular payload integration and interoperability within ARX’s Mithra OS-enabled fleet.
The company highlighted that lessons from the Ukrainian front confirm the value of unmanned, software-enabled systems. These, it said, increase survivability and support the modernisation of European land forces in an evolving security environment.
Combat Gereon is designed for missions with low survivability for personnel, including reconnaissance, route clearance and forward observation in contested areas. By reducing operator workload and enabling safe remote operation, the system allows forces to operate at extended range without direct exposure.
“Combat Gereon represents the next step in our mission to protect soldiers and enhance Europe’s defence resilience,” said Marc Wietfeld, co-founder and CEO of ARX Robotics. “The system extends the reach of our autonomous platform into the combat-capable domain while staying true to our core focus: increasing survivability at the front line and enabling European forces to operate with greater effectiveness and lower risk.”
Scalable production across ARX’s European and Ukrainian factories and modular payloads allow configuration for varied environments and rapid adaptation to new threats. By combining autonomous navigation, flexible armament and fleet-level coordination, the UGV is designed to increase survivability, raise operational tempo and contribute to the reindustrialisation of Europe’s defence sector.
ARX Robotics builds the Gereon RCS UGV series and Mithra OS, an AI-driven operating system integrating autonomous and legacy assets. The company’s systems are in use with several European armed forces and in Ukraine.
