Milrem is an Estonian technology solutions provider specializing in military and commercial engineering, repair and maintenance.
The company’s two main lines of business include the research and development of unmanned vehicles and repair and maintenance of heavy-duty military vehicles.
Recently, the company has unveiled a fully customizable UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) that can serve as a transportation platform carrying a squad’s gear, a remote weapon station equipped with small or large caliber weapons, an IED detection and disposal platform and much more.
Named THeMIS (Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry System) it features a diesel-electric hybrid drive, has a payload of 750kg/1650 lbs and can reach a top speed of 24km/h / 15mph. However, its most innovative feature is the ability for rapid configuration that allows it to take the form of several mission specific solutions.
This UGV has been developed meeting requirements detailed in the Army’s Robotic and Autonomous Systems Strategy: “It will significantly reduce warfighter workload, serve as a force multiplier and increase situational awareness,” explained Kuldar Väärsi, CEO of Milrem.
