"The THeMIS Observe is an ISR system that significantly increases a tactical unit's reaction speed on targets as well as the stand-off distance from enemy units," explained Cpt (res) Jüri Pajuste, Defence R&D Director at Milrem Robotics. "The system raises the capability and survivability of tactical reconnaissance units considerably," Pajuste said, adding that this type of capability is usually not available for light infantry units on one platform.

As a recent addition, the vehicle features Sequrests Mobile Multi Camouflage Cover for a significant signature reduction in visual NIR, thermal IR and radar. "The combination of those systems allows units to do multi-sensor identification on one platform while being concealed by adversary observers," Pajuste added.

Additionally, the THeMIS Observe is equipped with Milrem's Intelligent Functions Kit that enables autonomous functions such as follow-me, and waypoint navigation with obstacle detection and avoidance.

The THeMIS UGV, which the ISR system is based on, is a multi-mission unmanned ground system that is currently part of robotics programs in 16 countries, including 8 NATO member countries. The THeMIS is also deployed in Ukraine.
