Milrem, an Estonian defense company, recently partnered with Raytheon UK, Advanced Electronics Company and IGG Eselsan Systems to deploy the company’s modular hybrid unmanned ground vehicle Themis in the Middle East and North Africa region.
 
"The success of Milrem solutions in the Middle East, Asia and the U.S. is a big proof that research and development in a small country like Estonia is very possible and at a very high level," Margus Tsahkna, Estonia's defense minister, said.
 
During a ceremonial unveiling, the companies showcased the joint product of IGG Aselsan and Milrem, which features Aselsan's SARP remote weapons station. Themis is designed to carry a police team, up to 750 kilogram in weight and drive for 10 hours on one tank of fuel. It can also be used as a medevac, UAV platform for landing and charging and a sensor array.
 
"Represented are three stands with three different companies [which] shows exactly how adaptable the first fully modular hybrid unmanned ground vehicle Themis [is]," Kuldar Väärsi, CEO at Milrem, said. "One platform can be equipped with specific loads required for the armies of the region.”
