Hanwha Aerospace and Milrem Robotics Sign MoU to Advance Global Ground Robotics Initiatives
As part of this strategic partnership, Milrem Robotics and Hanwha Aerospace will cooperate to develop tracked RCVs to meet the performance requirements of initial customers. By combining their expertise, the two companies aim to enhance the vehicle’s capabilities to support mechanized units effectively.
Milrem Robotics, the world's leading developer of robotics and autonomous systems, and Hanwha Aerospace Co., Ltd, a leading, global aerospace and defence company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the development and global marketing of Robotic Combat Vehicles (RCV) and other ground robotic systems.
As part of this strategic partnership, Milrem Robotics and Hanwha Aerospace will cooperate to develop tracked RCVs to meet the performance requirements of initial customers. By combining their expertise, the two companies aim to enhance the vehicle's capabilities to support mechanized units effectively.
Additionally, Milrem Robotics and Hanwha Aerospace will jointly execute global marketing campaigns to promote the RCV and other ground robotics solutions. By leveraging their respective networks and market knowledge, both companies will work to expand the reach and adoption of their advanced robotic solutions across international markets.
"Our collaboration with Hanwha aims to accelerate the development of cutting-edge robotic solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern armed forces, combining Milrem Robotics' innovative technologies with Hanwha's extensive experience in defence systems," said Kuldar Väärsi, CEO of Milrem Robotics.
"As Hanwha grows internationally, we seek to bring our technology, speed, and industrial strengths and partner with innovative companies to rapidly address emergent requirements. This collaboration on robotic and autonomous combat systems leverages the expertise and capabilities from Milrem and Hanwha Aerospace," said Michael Coulter, President & CEO (nominee) of Hanwha Global Defense, overseeing international aerospace and defence businesses for Hanwha Aerospace and other affiliates. "Through this collaboration, we intend to bring new capability and capacity to address rapidly evolving combat environments."

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
