Milrem, known for its uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs), and Pearson with its experience in developing demining and improvised explosive device (IED) defeating engineering solutions, will bring the two capabilities together.
Pearson Engineering and Milrem Robotics have signed an agreement to integrate the former’s engineering technology onto the latter’s UGVs under a Memorandum of Understand (MoU) signed in Abu Dhabi at IDEX.
The MoU will see Pearson, owned by Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Milrem, majority owned by the UAE’s Edge Group, develop mission-specific UGVs for the Middle East and North Africa region.
A key area of expertise for Pearson is demining equipment. The agreement formalises cooperation between both companies, which has previously seen earth-moving and IED defeating equipment from Pearson integrated with Milrem’s Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV).
