Sweden Orders Milrem Robotics' THeMIS Unmanned Ground Vehicle
The contract was signed at recently concluded Eurosatory-2024 exhibition in Paris.
Sweden has confirmed the purchase of Milrem Robotics' THeMIS Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV).
The THeMIS Cargo variant, equipped with Milrem’s Intelligent Functions Kit (MIFIK) for autonomous mobility, will undergo trials and experiments conducted by the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV), the Swedish Defence Research Agency, and the Swedish Armed Forces, the company said in a statement on June 26.
The contract was officially signed during Eurosatory 2024 by Brigadier General Jonas Lotsne, Director of Land Systems at FMV, and Sverker Svärdby, Managing Director of Milrem Robotics Sweden, in the presence of Major General Jonny Lindfors, the Swedish Chief of Army.
Initially procured for supply delivery, the adaptable THeMIS UGV can also fulfill roles such as casualty evacuation, reconnaissance, and combat missions through integration with third-party technologies.
The integration process will involve extensive training for Swedish military personnel to ensure proficient operation and maintenance of the vehicle.
