Milrem Robotics and Electro Optic Systems (EOS) Defence Systems have signed a teaming agreement to jointly pursue new business opportunities and advance network-centric collaborative combat robotics.
The agreement extends EOS’ counter-drone systems onto Milrem’s unmanned ground platforms.
Andreas Schwer, CEO of EOS said that the drone threat environment is increasingly mobile and contested, and that consequently, effective defence can no longer be confined to fixed sites or crewed platforms.
EOS and Milrem will collaborate to identify business opportunities in new markets and customer segments of mutual interest, as well as to develop and execute joint marketing initiatives. The cooperation also enables the potential co-development of products, technologies and integrated solutions aligned with the companies’ respective areas of expertise.
Joint research and development activities will include the integration of advanced weapon systems, sensors and effectors onto Milrem Robotics’ unmanned ground vehicles. Planned activities may include non-ITAR counter-drone systems, missile and grenade launcher integrations, large-calibre weapon systems for heavy UGVs, and the integration of laser-based capabilities on medium and large uncrewed platforms, in cooperation with selected international partners.
The agreement further supports the sharing of relevant intellectual property, technical know-how, and research outcomes to accelerate the commercialisation and deployment of jointly developed or marketed solutions.
The collaboration will initially focus on selected markets in the Middle East and North Africa, the Asia-Pacific region and Europe, with opportunities in the United States assessed on a case-by-case basis. Target markets include the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, and selected European programmes where joint offerings can deliver a clear competitive advantage.
