Milrem Robotics To Unveil Autonomous RCV At Defense & Security Exhibition In Bangkok

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 (Bernama) -- Milrem Robotics, will be showcasing its most advanced autonomous Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) THeMIS at the Defense & Security exhibition which takes place from Nov 6 to 9 in Bangkok.

This vehicle considerably enhances combat and battlefield support operations such as casualty evacuation, logistics as well as Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR).

Since introduced in Thailand on 2019, it was subsequently acquired for testing by the Defence Technology Institute and the Thai Army, Milrem Robotics has been gathering customer feedback and developing next generation features to automate the usage of RCVs on the battlefield.

Its Chief Executive Officer, Kuldar Väärsi said Milrem Robotics’ commitment to innovation and excellence has resulted in the development of an RCV that is poised to transform defence and security operations globally.

“Our aim is to empower military forces with cutting-edge technology that ensures the safety of personnel and enhances mission effectiveness.

“By automating tasks, reducing manpower requirements, and enhancing mission capabilities, we are helping armies respond more effectively to evolving threats,” he said in a statement.

The THeMIS RCV introduced at the exhibition gains its autonomous capabilities from Milrem Robotics’ Intelligent Functions Kit (MIFIK), that leverages state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms and allows warfighters to designate the vehicles to operate autonomously in complex and dynamic environments, drastically reducing the need for human intervention.

Robotic combat vehicles with MIFIK can be utilised for a wide range of missions, including logistics support, casualty evacuation, reconnaissance, and combat operations, making them invaluable assets for modern armed forces.

It also includes enhanced safety measures thanks to advanced sensors, obstacle recognition and avoidance systems, and real-time communication capabilities to ensure the safety of the vehicle and the successful completion of its mission.

Milrem Robotics is the leading European robotics and autonomous systems developer and systems integrator, with offices in Estonia, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the United States.
