Milrem Robotics Showcases THeMIS Combat-Cargo UGV at Defense & Security 2025

Milrem Robotics, the world’s leading developer of robotics and autonomous systems, will exhibit its THeMIS Combat unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) integrated with Valhalla’s LOKI Remote Controlled Weapon Station (RCWS) at Defense & Security 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand, taking place 10–13 November 2025.

The cost-efficient version on display features expanded cargo capacity to meet evolving end-user requirements.

The THeMIS Combat is designed to support military operations in high-threat environments by enabling remote threat identification and engagement before human forces are exposed. As part of the Forward Line of Robotics, it is critical in neutralising key enemy assets and creating operational momentum that allows ground forces to advance with reduced risk and casualties.

“The THeMIS Combat demonstrates how unmanned systems can fundamentally change the dynamics of ground warfare,” said Patrick Shepherd, Chief Sales Officer at Milrem Robotics. “By combining mobility, firepower, and payload versatility, it allows units to project combat power faster and more safely. It doesn’t just accompany troops — it extends their reach and resilience on the battlefield.”

Equipped with the LOKI RCWS, the system delivers precise firepower and tactical versatility. LOKI supports weapon calibres from 5.56 mm to 12.7 mm and can effectively engage targets at distances of up to 2,000 metres. Beyond its firepower, LOKI can also perform counter-unmanned aerial systems (CUAS) tasks, expanding the platform’s operational scope. Its compact form factor, combined with the THeMIS UGV’s high payload capacity, allows the integration of mission-specific payloads and supplies, providing a significant logistical advantage to dismounted troops.

Together, the THeMIS Combat and LOKI RCWS exemplify the tactical benefits of unmanned systems in enhancing force protection, extending battlefield reach, and increasing mission effectiveness in complex environments.
