During the 29th edition of Eurosatory 2026, the international defense industry exhibition organized by Coges Events and taking place on June 15–19 this year at Paris-Nord Villepinte near Paris, Estonia’s Milrem Robotics, part of the UAE-based EDGE industrial group, is presenting systems designed to counter drone threats and support a layered, unmanned approach to modern warfare at stand J145 in Hall 6.

Building on the Robotised Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative (EFDI), the company emphasizes that unmanned ground systems with integrated sensors and Counter-UAS capabilities can create a persistent defensive network in which robotic platforms perform the most dangerous roles.
“At Eurosatory 2026, we are showcasing how robotic and autonomous systems are becoming a central element of modern layered defense. Integrated unmanned platforms equipped with Counter-UAS, surveillance and combat capabilities enable armed forces to extend operational reach, sustain high-readiness operations and reduce soldiers’ exposure to frontline threats,” said Stefan Behre, Chief Sales Officer at Milrem Robotics.
At the center of the display in Paris is ARCOS, the Autonomous & Robotic Control Suite, Milrem Robotics’ modular command-and-control system enabling the coordinated operation of unmanned systems and payloads. ARCOS is designed to integrate into broader battle management architectures, enabling synchronized operations across unmanned and manned forces.
Connected through ARCOS, the systems on display demonstrate how autonomous platforms can operate as part of a coordinated defensive network. Among them is the THeMIS (Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry System) unmanned ground vehicle, which has been updated with lessons learned since its deployment to Ukraine in 2022.
THeMIS
THeMIS is available in multiple Combat configurations, including a version fitted with two Buria remote weapon stations, developed by Ukraine’s Frontline Robotics for remote fire support, providing increased combat effectiveness while keeping operators at a safe distance.
The system provides mobile fire support, enabling attacks on enemy positions, support for maneuver forces and reinforcement of defensive operations.
In addition, Milrem is presenting THeMIS integrated with the R400 Slinger Counter-UAS remote weapon station from Australia’s EOS. Equipped with a 30 mm x 113 mm cannon and specialized ammunition designed to minimize collateral damage, the system can detect, track and engage hostile drones at ranges exceeding 1,000 meters.
Milrem Robotics is also presenting the Havoc RCV (Robotic Combat Vehicle), a hybrid-electric 8×8 platform combining mobility, firepower and advanced mission systems. Equipped with a 30 mm x 113 mm automatic cannon with proximity-fuzed ammunition, optional short-range air defense (SHORAD) missiles and electronic support measures (ESM), the Havoc RCV is designed to counter both aerial and ground threats in challenging environments. The platform can also integrate counter-drone capabilities to support layered air defense operations.
An integrated Elistair Khronos tethered drone provides persistent surveillance and enhanced situational awareness, enabling continuous observation and target acquisition from an elevated position.
Additional new systems presented at Eurosatory include the TerraHawk counter-drone system from MSI-Defence Systems Ltd, the Flexible Mission Platform (FMP) from Moog Inc., and the modular payload system from the German-French joint venture KNDS for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), developed in cooperation with the French branch of Thales Group.
Together, these capabilities demonstrate how robotic systems can provide persistent surveillance, immediate response and combat power, supporting a defense model in which unmanned platforms absorb risk and extend operational reach.

What does a continuous, multi-layered defence architecture look like?
Interoperable robotic and autonomous systems working together across land and air to strengthen deterrence and readiness along NATO’s Eastern Flank.
