Milrem Robotics to Unveil 8×8 Robotic Combat Vehicle at IDEX 2025

Milrem Robotics will introduce its new 8×8 Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV), known as HAVOC, at IDEX 2025, which will be held from February 16 to 21 in the United Arab Emirates.

The hybrid unmanned ground vehicle is designed for high-speed maneuverability, stealth operations, and firepower integration.

HAVOC features a hybrid-electric powertrain that extends operational range while allowing near-silent movement for stealth missions. Its electric driveline provides instant torque for rapid acceleration, and pivot steering enhances maneuverability in various terrains, including deserts, urban areas, and mountainous regions.

With a baseline payload capacity of five tons, HAVOC can accommodate mission-specific payloads without affecting performance. The platform shares common subsystems with Milrem’s tracked RCVs, reducing procurement and maintenance costs while improving logistics.
