ARX Robotics and ROBONEERS have successfully completed initial integration tests of the SABER weapon module on the GEREON uncrewed ground vehicle (UGV). This system is designed for frontline operations in Ukraine and will feature configurations including a .50-caliber M2 heavy machine gun and a 40 mm MK 19 automatic grenade launcher.
The collaboration between the German defense technology company ARX Robotics and Ukrainian firm ROBONEERS aims to enhance the operational capabilities of Ukraine's Defense Forces. The integration of the SABER module allows for remotely operated fire support, enabling soldiers to engage from a safer distance, thus reducing their exposure to direct fire.
ARX Robotics plans to integrate the first armed configurations of the GEREON UGV by the end of 2026, with deliveries aligned to the needs of Ukrainian forces. The GEREON platform, which is already operational in unarmed configurations, showcases a modular design that adapts to various military missions, enhancing its versatility on the battlefield.
