Milrim Robotix and SII Defense Systems reveal the capabilities of unmanned systems designated to confront aircraft without a pilot at the Global Defense Fair

Milrem Robotics and MSI Defense Systems Unveil Unmanned Systems Capabilities for Countering Drones at the Global Defense Expo

MSI Defense Systems Limited (MSI- DSL), a developer of underwater weapons and systems, and Milrem Robotics, a leading European developer of robotics and autonomous systems, jointly unveiled highly mobile unmanned systems to counter drones at the International Defense Show.

"We have seen an increase in the use of drones and hover munitions against various military targets. The use of this type of equipment has made low-level conflicts more destructive," said Capt. Yuri Pagost, Director of Defense Research and Development at Milrem Robotics. The use of unmanned ground systems with intelligent functions to counter these new threats helps to enhance force protection, provide tactical units flexibility to engage air and ground targets and ultimately reduce loss of life.”

The jointly developed system, which includes Milrem Robotics' Themis unmanned ground vehicles integrated with MSI Defense Systems Limited's remote weapon systems and electro-optical sensing systems, provides a game-changer in aircraft confrontation. Unmanned aerial vehicles, small munitions, or other small aerial targets that are difficult to detect for deployed assets and critical infrastructure.

Retired Brigadier General Hayden White RM, Senior Military Adviser to MSI-DSL said, “MSI-DSL and Milrem are committed to providing operators with 'advanced' capabilities. "To provide a highly deployable system with unique destructiveness and survivability. The autonomous nature of the system enables operators to sense, identify, make decisions, and influence over a wide area without exposing them to undue risk."

Themis Combat unmanned ground vehicles, equipped with Milrem intelligent function suite, provide tracking, return to headquarters and point-to-point navigation functions that greatly enhance the combat capability of units.

The highly mobile counter-unmanned aircraft (C-UAS) systems will be capable of carrying payloads from 7.62 to 30mm, including the Northrop Grumman M230 gun and Thales LLM missiles. . It will also be able to find and engage larger air threats and ground targets, even if they are armored, without exposing the operator to any threat.

The system will be displayed at the Global Defense Exhibition in Riyadh, which will be held from March 6 to 9 at the Estonian Pavilion H9. Another Themis will also be on display in the outdoor area and stand number CY-Z.

Milrem Robotics is a European leader in the development of robotics, autonomous systems and system integrators. Its flagship product, Themis unmanned ground vehicles, has already been sold by 12 countries, including many NATO member states.

MSI Defense Systems is a leading global supplier of small and/or medium caliber gun systems.
