Why So Many Nations Want The THeMIS Unmanned Ground Vehicle ?
The THEMIS (Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry System) is a remotely controlled Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). It was designed by MILREM Robotics ( @MilremRobotics ) a newly established Estonian company. The UAE’s EDGE Group PJSC (‘EDGE Group’ or ‘EDGE’), one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, has announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Estonia-based Milrem Robotics, Europe’s leading developer of robotics and autonomous systems. The transaction is the largest foreign investment in Estonia’s growing defence industry, and will see Milrem Robotics join EDGE as a new entity within its Platforms & Systems cluster, complementing the group’s existing multi-domain capabilities.
Established in 2013, Milrem Robotics’ mission is to provide innovative robotic solutions for challenging environments. It specialises in the development of intelligent unmanned ground vehicles, robotic warfare solutions, Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and doctrine-level warfare analysis. Its main products are the THeMIS and Multiscope unmanned ground vehicles, the Type-X unmanned combat vehicle, and the MIFIK land vehicle autonomy package. The first two are intended to support dismounted soldiers and for commercial purposes such as forestry and firefighting, respectively. The Type-X is a wingman for mechanised defence units.

This is just the beginning of this type of military technology. The possibilities are staggering.
They had being spotted in Singapore with our RWS mounting a Frontrunner 50MG & a 40AGL
It's only weakness is hitchhikers. It's like being in the eye of the storm, as long as you're behind the barrel you're safe
not many hitchhikers on the front line of Battle
Survivability on a battlefield is the most important factor. How long will it go in weather extremes? Is it protected from being dismantled and reverse engineered by enemy? What about GSM signal jamming? In real life signals can be jammed or blocked by enemy. Overall the idea is great!
Drone and UGV combo + infantry= perfect to storm positions
Exactly!
a lot of fully autonomous weapon systems would be needed to defend a tiny area that estonia is
I think it's amazing. Unimaginable
It should have mine detector capability so it can be the spearhead in counter offensive operations.
They will probably equip some that way in the future. It makes sense as a way to reduce risks to human troops.
How does the friend-or-foe detection work? That is quite a crucial point in case that thing acts "autonomously"..
the easiest and most reliable method would be chips that every soldier on the frontline has on his person. This way they can operate on frontlines with human forces and still be able to recognize them. if u take away the human aspect u can simply let every machine communicate with eachother they wouldnt need to detect friends because they are in constant communication and know position anyway so anything they encounter is automatically a foe. the more futuristic way is full AI once AI technology is ready for that kind of responsibility its gonna be the safest to use cause u dont need any communication they would be immune to any kind of signal attack and easier to shield vs electromagnetic attacks too.
@@gecgoodpasi1654 Until a solider is captured with a chip and it is reversed engineered so the bad guys register as good guys.
@@poco9964 its not that simple xD u can just use a daily changing code or smth like that. plenty of ways to secure frequencies/signals too something physical like a friend/foe chip could be made extremely secure because u got regular access to both the hardware of the chip and the automatic drones u can make the system extremely resilient to any kind of attack on it.
If that thing goes berserk, you'll have to send a T-800 to stop it.
I want to say the turret is probably (for now) still human operated, just remotely.
These are great. I want one, maybe two.
the TheMIS® UGV could be armed with two 25 MM GAU-12/U six-barrel rotary cannon & one .50 Cal HMG . . . both guns mounted on a 360° deg rotating remote weapons station with both thermal & night vision . . . the 0.50 Cal will be modified to shoot aerial such as helos & low flying loitering munitions . . .
honestly these are nice and fancy but the real game changer is gonna be heavy armor fully automated u can use alot thicker armor without crew compartments on tanks and u eliminate a crucial weakness of disabled crew. u could make a smaller, faster and better armored MBT without any weakness that crew brings with it essentially small strike vehicles with big bang that would be able to automatically dodge incoming missiles if its hooked up to a sensor network unlike crew it wont need long to lower its thermal signature, fire countermeasures and dodge the second a javelin etc. is fired.
The armor is not limited by the crew compartment, but by the weight of the armor itself🤦♀️🤦♂️ And even without a vulnerable crew, there is still a lot of mechanism and electronics inside the vehicle that is just as vulnerable if something penetrates the interior
Dodge a javelin? Lol
@@12345mace pretty sure it's immune to javelins .... u know heat seaking targeting sucks when no heat signature :)
@@klaabu99 Drones do output a heat signature identical to humans, also the Javelin has object recognition, it doesn't target heat sources it targets whatever the operator brackets before firing.
How many have been sold at what price?
"oh look! It's the wheelson!" ~Average CoDM player~
A new era of robotic warfare. My company is doing the same thing with drones.
@@Another-Address you’re absolutely correct. All of those scenarios are being discussed.
we should have an army of these at our borders... and california since its a hell hole
Looks like something from ROBOTECH/BATTLETECH!
"Come with me if you want to live" ~Terminator
Wow, a robot with a machine. What could possibly go wrong?
I think i should build one for my country
Electric certainly does NOT mean extreme cold conditions.
Классные машины
Awesome it’s able to clear jams and malfunctions? Or some sorry Sob has to climb onto of the machine in a firefight
Return to base? The weapon system will have to be far more resistant to malfunctions if it cannot self clear.
If it has the ability to shoot in a high negative angle it will end trench wars era if it was deployed.
They never had a cheesecake if they did they would get them instead
Almost a Terminator T-1...
Sneak up, bash the ammo feed, then steel bar in one of the track dolly. End of mobility and firepower.
In the midst of a heated battle field operation? Easier said than done.
Life is not a video game. Military units have tried to to around (flank) and sneak up on the enemy since time began. That turret turns around and the camera gives a 360 POV. For some reason you are facing that with a crow bar.
Wannabe Rambos like you would be the first victims to get shot and killed by these robots LoL
That's going to be hard to do if they're sent in groups or if accompanying footsoldiers, which will often be the case.
With all these great suggestions to improve this thing you just debugged this for them. 😳
One Molotov Cocktail, and that thing is done.
It's not an attack machine. NATO is not Russia, where people and tanks are sent in waves to occupy positions. This robot's forte is gathering intelligence data, evacuating wounded soldiers, and supplying units with ammunition. Destruction and killing are not the main tasks of this robot, it is a secondary feature. NATO units are closely related. Presumably, howitzers will be the main cooperation partners for Themis.
In Ukraine, there is only a platform for the evacuation of people, and in Mali it was used to transport ammunition and equipment by infantry.
If you want something impervious to a Molotov Cocktail you're going to need something a lot bigger and much more expensive. I've yet to see a medic evacuation team that's impervious to bullets or a logistics supply team that can't be stopped by a grenade. At least with this, you don't lose a human life and sometimes it can be repaired a lost faster than it takes for a wounded solider to be battle ready again. It's safe to say that replacing a lung that's been pierced by a bullet is a lot harder than replacing an engine block.
@@rapator9270 NATO has invaded more countries than Russia, you do realize that right?
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj What countrys NATO have invaded?
Have you ever thought of continuous life, why? Not Arms dealing and of some companies profit, ha, ha Think of making life without stop , use it.
They should cooperate with ukrainian group roboneers. They have similar drones with the goal to make them as cheap and mass produced as possible.
Sit in air conditioned bunker and let this thing fight WW3.
Honstly... upacale the double barrelled, move the guns out and boom; one of the tanks from Terminator
It cant do cappucino!
sure ... if u install coffemachine on it ... then u can have fresh cappuchino on battlefield
I feel like its too big of a target
Looks like it has a lot of flaws imho.
Esthétiquement il est moin réussi que le drone automne turque le orbey tekatron c'est turque pas américain
Inches not inch work on your grammar dude
Humans are cheaper
Nobody want that bs
Nobody need you 🤣
Prob sum poor country 🤣🤣 they. Sum rebels wow.
The UAE just bought 50 da hell you on?
338 machinagun, with anti drone capabilities, 40mm gl with mortar mode and you win the trenches lol
No one wants rubbish UAE tech it's decades behind the west it's a track with remote control guns could be build by any uni student lol
It's made by the estonians
He's illiterate @@Strazle
