German company ARX Robotics and Ukraine's Roboneers today announced the formation of ARX Industries, a joint venture to industrialise the mass production of unmanned ground vehicles.
The new entity will produce the Rys Pro UGV at scale, delivering software-defined ground capabilities to the Ukrainian Defence Forces.
The joint venture brings together ARX Robotics and Roboneers' proven expertise in unmanned ground vehicle production, industrial scale, and operational deployment, forming a partnership designed to meet the urgent and growing demand for UGVs on the modern battlefield. The partnership directly supports Ukraine’s target of supplying 50,000 UGVs to the military in 2026.
ARX Industries will produce the Rys Pro UGV across facilities in Germany and Ukraine, combining industrial capacity with frontline proximity. This industrial complex will ensure both the scale and the agility to respond to evolving operational needs.
The joint venture aims to produce thousands of Rys Pro units within the first year of operation. Output is projected to scale progressively, reaching tens of thousands of units annually in subsequent years. The UGVs will be deployed across mission-critical roles covering casualty evacuation, frontline logistics - transporting supplies, medical aid, mission-specific modules including mining and demining - and combat configurations.
