At Eurosatory 2026, Milrem Robotics, the world’s leading robotics and autonomous systems developer, is showcasing systems designed to counter drone threats and support a layered, unmanned-first approach to modern warfare.
Building on its Robotised Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative (EFDI), the company highlights that unmanned ground systems with integrated sensors and Counter-UAS capabilities can form a persistent defensive network in which robotic platforms assume the most dangerous roles.
“At Eurosatory 2026, we are showcasing how robotic and autonomous systems are becoming a central element of modern layered defence. Integrated unmanned platforms equipped with Counter-UAS, surveillance, and combat capabilities enable armed forces to extend operational reach, sustain high-readiness operations, and reduce soldiers’ exposure to frontline threats,” said Stefan Behre, Chief Sales Officer at Milrem Robotics.
At the centre of the display is ARCOS, the Autonomous & Robotic Control Suite, Milrem Robotics’ modular command-and-control system enabling the coordinated operation of unmanned systems and payloads. ARCOS is designed to integrate into broader battle management architectures, enabling synchronised operations across unmanned and manned forces.
Connected through ARCOS, the showcased systems demonstrate how autonomous platforms can operate as part of a coordinated defensive network. Among them is the THeMIS unmanned ground vehicle, which, since its deployment to Ukraine in 2022, has been updated with lessons learned.
THeMIS is available in multiple combat configurations, including a dual-Buria remote weapon station configuration developed by Ukraine’s Frontline Robotics for remote fire support, delivering enhanced combat effectiveness while keeping operators at a safe distance.
The system provides mobile, protected fire support to engage enemy positions, support manoeuvre forces, and strengthen defensive operations.
Additionally, Milrem is showcasing THeMIS integrated with EOS’ R400 Slinger Counter-UAS Remote Weapon Station. Equipped with a 30×113 mm cannon and specialised ammunition designed to minimise collateral damage, the system can detect, track, and engage hostile drones at ranges beyond 1,000 metres.
Milrem Robotics is also presenting the HAVOC Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV), an 8×8 hybrid-electric platform combining mobility, firepower, and advanced mission systems. Equipped with a 30×113 mm cannon with proximity-fused ammunition, SHORAD missile options, and electronic warfare systems, HAVOC is designed to address both aerial and ground threats in contested environments. The platform can also integrate counter-UAS capabilities to support layered air defence operations.
An integrated Elistair Khronos tethered UAV provides persistent overwatch and enhanced situational awareness, enabling continuous surveillance and target acquisition from an elevated position.
Additional integrations showcased at Eurosatory include the TerraHawk RWS by MSI, the Flexible Mission Platform (FMP™) by Moog and KNDS’ modular payload module for ISR, in cooperation with Thales France.
Together, these capabilities demonstrate how robotic systems can deliver sustained surveillance, immediate response, and combat power—supporting a defence model where unmanned platforms absorb risk and extend operational reach.
