THE Ground
decides

Air forces rebuilt themselves around software and autonomy over two decades. Land forces never did. They bought vehicles, and a vehicle was finished the day it arrived. Europe's land forces have thousands of vehicles in service. Software is how you scale.

ARX Robotics makes ground platforms software-defined: the ones Europe fields next, and the tens of thousands it already owns. MITHRA is our open-interface defense operating system — it turns an in-service vehicle into an autonomous, connected, continuously upgradeable system without replacing it. GEREON and HECTOR are what we build when the mission needs a new platform. Both run on MITHRA. Both are updated over the air, so capability improves between deployments instead of between procurement cycles.

Autonomy that fails without GPS is not autonomy. ARX Robotics systems navigate and operate in GNSS-denied, jammed, and all-terrain conditions, under human command at every decision that matters. One operator commands several platforms — which only works if the system reduces their load rather than adding to it.

What wins on the battlefield and what gets funded are not yet the same thing.

Our systems are built on open interfaces, European supply chains, and architectures that give customers visibility and control. A defence capability should not depend on what a supplier chooses to grant. Its architecture should determine how freely customers can inspect, adapt, and evolve it over time.
