Press Release: ARX Robotics, the German defence startup, has delivered 30 of its RCS unmanned ground systems to Ukrainian Armed Forces units currently engaged in active deployment. This delivery marks a major milestone in Germany's support efforts and reinforces ARX's growing presence in the evolving landscape of European autonomous defence.
Founded in Germany, ARX Robotics is a leading dual‑use robotics startup specialising in modular, autonomous ground systems. The company’s mission is to strengthen European resilience and sovereignty by driving technological innovation in defence. Designed with adaptability and mission‑critical performance in mind, ARX platforms are already used by six European armed forces for tasks ranging from reconnaissance and transport to simulation and casualty evacuation.
The systems delivered to Ukraine were custom‑developed to match the specific operational requirements of soldiers in the field. This involved multiple field visits, direct engagement with units on the ground, and rapid iterative development cycles. Within a few months, ARX implemented a range of mechanical and software modifications to ensure mission readiness and real‑world effectiveness.
This milestone reflects ARX’s commitment not only to adaptation but to anticipation. By closely collaborating with front‑line users and investing in future‑focused design, ARX continues to position itself as a pioneer in transforming modern defence. Supporting Ukraine with the largest fleet of European‑built unmanned ground vehicles represents a pivotal moment in Europe’s embrace of autonomous military technologies.
To ensure continued operational support and innovation, ARX will establish a technology and maintenance centre in Ukraine. This initiative will deepen ARX's collaboration with Ukrainian engineers and startups while strengthening the continent’s capacity to respond to security challenges through resilience, agility, and home‑grown innovation.
