Armed combat robot tested for frontline operations

ARX Robotics and ROBONEERS completed integration tests of the SABER weapon module on the GEREON uncrewed ground vehicle on October 29. This platform aims to provide remote fire support in active conflict zones by allowing operators to manage weapons from a safe distance.

The system pairs a .50-caliber M2 heavy machine gun or a 40 mm MK 19 automatic grenade launcher with the mobility of the GEREON vehicle. This setup allows the unit to maneuver into position and return fire while soldiers remain out of the direct line of sight.

The companies plan to deliver the first armed configurations to defense forces by the end of 2026.

GEREON units already operate in the field for non-combat tasks like transporting supplies, electronic warfare, and medical evacuations. Adding the weapon module transforms these vehicles into active combat support units that keep personnel away from frontline hazards. 🤖
