Milrem Robotics, along with Overwatch Aerospace, MSI-Defence Systems, and Pearson Engineering, has announced the launch of a UK-specific version of the THeMIS Combat Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) at DSEI 2025.
The four companies will develop, test, demonstrate, and produce the combat-proven THeMIS platform in the United Kingdom, specifically designed to meet the needs of UK customers. The UK version of the THeMIS Combat UGV will combine Milrem Robotics' THeMIS UGV platform with MSI-Defence Systems' advanced TERRAHAWK Remote Weapon Station (RWS) and Overwatch Aerospace's innovative APEX Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). Pearson Engineering will contribute its expertise in integrating mission-critical capabilities into armoured platforms.
Kuldar Väärsi, CEO of Milrem Robotics, said: "The THeMIS has proven its value in multiple theatres worldwide, and this UK-specific variant will take its capabilities even further. By working with trusted British partners, we deliver an advanced and mission-ready combat system and ensure that development, testing, and production happen here in the UK, creating local value and strengthening domestic defence capabilities."
The program will now move into a comprehensive development and trial phase.
