Milrem Robotics’ Themis

Showcased with Intelligent Functions Kit

Milrem Robotics’ autonomous Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV)
THeMIS is on display with new autonomous capabilities gained
from Milrem Robotics’ Intelligent Functions Kit (MIFIK), that lever-
ages state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning
algorithms and allows warfighters to designate the vehicles to
operate autonomously in complex and dynamic environments,
drastically reducing the need for human intervention. “Milrem
Robotics’ commitment to innovation and excellence has resulted
in the development of an RCV that is poised to transform defence
and security operations globally. Our aim is to empower military
forces with cutting-edge technology that ensures the safety of
personnel and enhances mission effectiveness,” said Kuldar
Väärsi, CEO of Milrem Robotics.

The THeMIS RCV was first introduced in Thailand in 2019 by
the nation’s Defence Technology Institute (DTI) and was subse-
quently acquired for testing by the Royal Thai Army (RTA). The
THeMIS RCV not only automates routine tasks but is also used
to augment combat capabilities, enhancing the efficiency of
military operations while reducing the need for large manpower
deployments. Robotic combat vehicles with MIFIK can be uti-
lized for a wide range of missions, including logistics support,
casualty evacuation, reconnaissance, and combat operations,
making them invaluable assets for modern armed forces. Milrem
Robotics has been gathering customer feedback and developing
next generation features to automate the usage of RCVs on
the battlefield. “Our advanced autonomous RCVs represents
the future of defence and security operations. By automating
tasks, reducing manpower requirements, and enhancing mission
capabilities, we are helping armies respond more effectively to
evolving threat,” the company said in a release. The THeMIS RCV
also includes enhanced safety measures thanks to advanced
sensors, obstacle recognition and avoidance systems, and re-
al-time communication capabilities to ensure the safety of the
vehicle and the successful completion of its mission.

The Royal Thai Army’s (RTA) Autonomous Truck Mounted Gun (ATMG) is being showcased in the indoor display.
The artillery gun is based on Israeli firm Elbit Systems’ ATMOS 155mm/52 caliber howitzers which are mounted
on a Czechoslovakian Tatra 6X6 chassis for Thailand.
