Several hundred additional GEREON unmanned ground vehicles will go to Ukraine’s Defense Forces under a new ARX Robotics contract focused on frontline logistics.
The vehicles are meant to cut troop exposure by taking on cargo transport, casualty evacuation and other support missions as Ukraine expands robotic operations near the front.
ARX said hundreds of its systems are already operating in Ukraine or have been ordered, and it plans to expand production in Ukraine and elsewhere to speed deliveries.
The company is also adding operator training and on-site technical servicing, while using battlefield feedback from Ukrainian units to adapt the modular platforms.
The deal fits Kyiv’s broader push into ground robotics after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine plans to contract at least 50,000 unmanned ground vehicles in 2026.

How Ukraine’s 181,000 UGVs and Drones Are Revolutionizing Frontline Operations and Global Defense
Overview
Ukraine is rapidly transforming its frontline logistics by deploying Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), aiming to enhance operational efficiency and significantly reduce risks to personnel. This shift is supported by a major investment in a digital procurement system, which allows frontline units to order equipment directly from domestic manufacturers. As a result, over 181,000 drones, UGVs, and electronic warfare systems have been delivered to the front lines. The main motivation for this rapid integration is to protect soldiers in high-risk zones, showing Ukraine’s strong commitment to using advanced technology for battlefield advantage.
