iMUGS: Here comes THeMIS UGV

The consortium of the Integrated Modular Unmanned Ground System (iMUGS) project presented the use of autonomous unmanned ground systems for various defense missions such as reconnaissance, casualty evacuation, and last-mile supply during the penultimate demonstration of the project in Versailles, France. The event was led by Safran and Nexter and supported by other consortium members.

During the demonstration, three THeMIS UGVs from Milrem Robotics, equipped with payloads from consortium members and cooperation partners, carried out several autonomous missions to demonstrate the capabilities of the entire iMUGS system. These included autonomous mission planning from the operator's perspective, ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance) with object detection and recognition, autonomous supply replenishment and casualty evacuation, and response to cyber threats. Here is the video presentation:

About the iMUGS Project

iMUGS is a project with a budget of 32.6 million euros, a collaboration of 13 parties focusing on the development of a modular and scalable architecture for hybrid manned and unmanned systems. Participants include Milrem Robotics (project coordinator), Bittium, Diehl Defence, dotOcean, GMV Aerospace and Defence, Insta Advance, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), Latvijas Mobilais Telefons (LMT), NEXTER Systems, the Royal Military Academy of Belgium, Safran Electronics & Defense, Talgen Cybersecurity, and sol.one.

The project aims to standardize a European ecosystem for air and ground platforms, command, control, and communication equipment, sensors, payloads, and algorithms. The project addresses challenges such as improved interoperability, situational awareness, and faster decision-making.
