THeMIS ADDER Weaponised Unmanned Ground Vehicle First Live Firing Test

Milrem and ST Kinetics conducted the first live fire tests of their weaponized unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), the THeMIS ADDER in November. Armed with ST Kinetics CIS-50 heavy machine gun, the UGV live firing test revealed an interesting concept of operation.  The tests are expected to pave the way for autonomous robots to eventually be deployed as part of an infantry squad or even replace ground troops on the battlefield. The video showed two version of the UGV and hinted at collaborative engagement with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that provided targeting information.
