Of the little-known weapons, the Gereon RCS ground drones, which are a new development of ARX Robotics, which were ordered in November 2024, may deserve attention. It is a multifunctional autonomous tracked platform with a payload of 500 kg and a range of 50 km. It can perform a variety of logistics and reconnaissance missions depending on the equipment.
As for the H-PEMBS demining system, it is a classic example of a means of remote mine disposal by explosion.
