Japan has tapped Milrem Robotics to supply three THeMIS unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for supply transportation and intelligence missions.
The UGVs will be equipped with the Estonian company’s Intelligent Functions Kit (MIFIK), allowing them to take on- and off-road operations independently.
MIFIK also lets THeMIS’ operators plan missions ahead by utilizing the systems’ waypoint navigation technology to set en-route vehicle movements.
Milrem Robotics CEO Kuldar Väärsi said the contract underlines the Japan Ground Self-Defense Forces’ goal of limiting human losses.
“We are honoured that the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces has selected us to support them in increasing the combat effectiveness of their ground forces through advanced robotics and achieving their capability goals,” he shared.
The deal is part of the Japan Ministry of Defense’s Rapid Acquisition Program, which aims to accelerate the deployment of Tokyo’s new defense capabilities.
