Denmark Buys Eight Ground Drones to Test Future Battlefield Roles

A key focus of the trials will be hands-on evaluation by soldiers, who will test how unmanned ground drones can be integrated into everyday field operations, from logistics and surveillance to direct combat support.

The larger THeMIS platform weighs about 1,600 kilograms (3,530 pounds) and can carry payloads of up to 1,200 kilograms (2,645 pounds).

It uses a diesel-electric hybrid drive, has a range of up to 200 kilometers (124 miles), and is equipped with rubber tracks for off-road mobility.
