By futureTEKnow | Editorial Team

KEY POINTS

€11M Series A extension boosts ARX Robotics’ total funding to €42M for expanding software and production of modular defense robotics.
Open architecture and modular platforms enable legacy military vehicles to be upgraded with advanced autonomy and AI capabilities.
Mithra OS: The industry’s first AI-driven operating system built specifically for military ground vehicles.
Proven impact: ARX UGVs are already deployed across six European armies, including Ukraine, and are customizable for humanitarian applications.

Pioneering Modern Tactical Robotics

ARX Robotics has cemented its reputation as a trailblazer in the field of autonomous unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). With a fresh injection of €11 million, extending the company’s Series A round to a total of €42 million, ARX is set to supercharge its technology and production capabilities to match Europe’s rising demand for adaptable, AI-driven defense solutions.

Veteran-Led Innovation and AI-Driven Modernization

Founded in Munich in 2022 by seasoned German Armed Forces veterans, ARX Robotics creates solutions grounded in real battlefield needs. Its headline products, the modular Gereon UGV platform and Mithra OS (the first AI-powered operating system for legacy ground vehicles), bring immediate operational upgrades to aging fleets, fostering readiness and advanced autonomy without requiring armies to replace entire vehicle inventories.

These platforms thrive on an open, integrable architecture, making them highly adaptable to varied missions—from reconnaissance and logistics to crisis response and humanitarian operations.

Scaling up for the Era of Software-Defined Defense

With geopolitical tensions and defense priorities at the forefront in Europe, ARX Robotics is taking a software-centric approach to defense modernization. The company’s focus encompasses:

Networking and digitization of unmanned combat vehicles.
Enhanced production capacity through new facilities and partnerships.
Strategic industrial alliances that streamline manufacturing and reduce costs.
Building a world-class, interdisciplinary team in AI, autonomy, and systems integration.

Expanding Footprint and Strategic Partnerships

ARX’s technology is already field-proven—operational in six European armed forces, including active deployment in Ukraine. Strategic alliances with global players like Daimler and Renk strengthen ARX’s ability to deliver cost-effective, scalable, and technologically sovereign solutions for Europe’s defense needs.

Vision for a Modern, Resilient Europe

The latest funding is not just for scaling production; it’s about shaping a sustainable, sovereign defense industry. By leveraging software-defined, modular platforms, ARX Robotics aims to secure Europe’s technological independence and contribute to the “reindustrialisation” of its defense sector.
