…THeMIS a 'force multiplier' THeMIS Combat UGVs can provide high-precision, direct-fire support for maneuver units and act as a force multiplier, claimed Milrem Robotics. The system displayed at LAAD is equipped with the two-axis, gyro-stabilized GUARDIAN 2.0 remote weapon station from Madrid-based Escribano Mechanical & Engineering S.L. (EM&E). GUARDIAN 2.0 and the advanced sensors and fire-control system in THeMIS allow dismounted infantry units to assess and engage the enemy at maximum standoff distances, said Milrem Robotics. This can increase force protection and survivability day and night, and in adverse weather conditions, it asserted. The Multiscope Rescue was designed to provide…
