What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Hanwha Defence Australia and Milrem Robotics signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Perth to expand cooperation on uncrewed ground systems. The agreement allows Hanwha Defence Australia to market, pursue local production, sell, and sustain the THeMIS Uncrewed Ground Vehicle locally in Australia for the wider region. Milrem Robotics will provide localization planning, technology transfer, and engineering expertise, and the cooperation includes integrating Milrem Robotics’ Intelligent Function Integration Kit (MIFIK) with vehicles in the Huntsman family.
