The display builds on Milrem Robotics’ Robotised Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative. The company said unmanned ground systems with integrated sensors and counter-UAS capabilities can form a persistent defensive network in which robotic platforms take on the most dangerous roles.
“At Eurosatory 2026, we are showcasing how robotic and autonomous systems are becoming a central element of modern layered defence. Integrated unmanned platforms equipped with Counter-UAS, surveillance, and combat capabilities enable armed forces to extend operational reach, sustain high-readiness operations, and reduce soldiers’ exposure to frontline threats,” said Stefan Behre, Chief Sales Officer at Milrem Robotics.
At the centre of the display is ARCOS, the Autonomous & Robotic Control Suite. Milrem Robotics describes ARCOS as a modular command-and-control system for coordinated operation of unmanned systems and payloads.
ARCOS is designed to integrate into wider battle management architectures. The company said it enables synchronised operations across unmanned and manned forces.
The systems connected through ARCOS demonstrate how autonomous platforms can operate as part of a coordinated defensive network. Among them is the THeMIS unmanned ground vehicle, which has been updated with lessons learned since its deployment to Ukraine in 2022.
THeMIS is available in several combat configurations. One configuration uses a dual-Buria remote weapon station developed by Ukraine’s Frontline Robotics for remote fire support.
The system is intended to improve combat effectiveness while keeping operators at a safe distance. Milrem Robotics said it provides mobile, protected fire support to engage enemy positions, support manoeuvre forces and strengthen defensive operations.
Milrem Robotics is also showing THeMIS integrated with EOS’ R400 Slinger counter-UAS remote weapon station. The system is equipped with a 30×113 mm cannon and specialised ammunition designed to minimise collateral damage.
The company said the THeMIS and Slinger configuration can detect, track and engage hostile drones at ranges beyond 1,000 metres. The display highlights how unmanned ground platforms can support counter-drone missions.
Milrem Robotics is also presenting the HAVOC Robotic Combat Vehicle. HAVOC is an 8×8 hybrid-electric platform combining mobility, firepower and advanced mission systems.
The platform is equipped with a 30×113 mm cannon with proximity-fused ammunition. It also has SHORAD missile options and electronic warfare systems.
Milrem Robotics said HAVOC is designed to address aerial and ground threats in contested environments. The platform can also integrate counter-UAS capabilities to support layered air defence operations.
An integrated Elistair Khronos tethered UAV provides persistent overwatch and improved situational awareness. The system enables continuous surveillance and target acquisition from an elevated position.
Other integrations being shown at Eurosatory include the TerraHawk remote weapon station by MSI. The display also includes Moog’s Flexible Mission Platform and a KNDS modular payload module for ISR in cooperation with Thales France.
Milrem Robotics said the combined systems demonstrate how robotic platforms can deliver sustained surveillance, immediate response and combat power. The company said this supports a defence model in which unmanned systems absorb risk and extend operational reach.
Milrem Robotics develops robotics and autonomous systems and has offices in Estonia, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Poland, the United States and the United Arab Emirates. Its THeMIS unmanned ground vehicle is part of robotics programmes or in operational use in 20 countries.
The company is also known for the HAVOC Robotic Combat Vehicle and MIFIK autonomous functionalities kit. Milrem Robotics led the European Defence Industrial Development Programme project iMUGS, and the second phase, iMUGS2, valued at 55 million euros, is currently in progress.
