The US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) is seeking industry partners to support its effort to improve ISR capabilities. The service is interested in testing advanced sensors and technologies to be deployed in challenging, multi-domain scenarios, as well as in disaster and humanitarian relief assistance operations.
It intends to provide an innovation testbed environment during its exercises and joint operations in order to identify longer-range solutions fitted with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities, as well as with renewable energy or alternative power sources.
The technologies and equipment should allow for integration with DoD’s inventory and with systems operated by

The agreement covers the establishment of a continuous experimentation environment.
Patria has so far built two technology test beds of the FAMOUS (Future Highly Mobile Augmented Armoured System) all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and in the second half of this year will complete the first of two vehicles for further trials in the third quarter of 2025.
The large urban recreation uses sensors and robots as well as realistic building design to test tactics and expertise.
A key feature of TREMOS (Traditional REborn Mortar System) is that it can be rapidly fitted to another platform. After the demonstration in Finland, TREMOS is going to Sweden to be fitted and fired from a standard commercial vehicle fitted with a hook lift to show its flexibility.
The new system is designed to turn windshields into real-time tactical data screens which would remove the need for XR glasses and provide battlespace awareness for situational readiness in low-visibility environments.
The company sees the new model as a potential solution for the US Army's M-SHORAD Inc 4.
