Robotics and autonomous systems developer Milrem Robotics launched its highly anticipated 8×8 Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) at IDEX 2025.
Estonian unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) maker Milrem Robotics unveiled a new 8×8 robotic combat vehicle (RCV) concept at the IDEX 2025 defense exhibition, held in Abu Dhabi February 17-21.
“The HAVOC RCV has been engineered to deliver unparalleled agility and high-speed maneuverability, enabling commanders to project force effectively across extended distances,” Kuldar Väärsi, CEO of Milrem Robotics said in a press release. “Its robust design and advanced hybrid propulsion system allow for integrating large-caliber weaponry while maintaining precision and superior lethality on the battlefield. As a versatile and reliable force multiplier, this platform redefines operational effectiveness for today’s dynamic and complex combat scenarios.”
According to the company, the platform has an advanced hybrid electric powertrain, which ensures an extended operational range and near-silent movement capabilities. These features enhance stealth and make the vehicle adaptable for various mission requirements.
By sharing common subsystems with other Milrem Robotics platforms, such as the Tracked RCV, HAVOC significantly reduces development, procurement and maintenance costs, ensuring cost efficiency and streamlined logistics.
