AV wins major contract for delivery of advanced unmanned ground vehicles to the German Armed Forces

28 March 2025

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary Telerob, AV received a significant contract to supply 41 large, advanced unmanned EOD/IED ground vehicles (UGVs) to the German Bundeswehr. Initial deliveries are scheduled for summer 2025, with additional orders through 2027.

After a rigorous tender process, the telemax™ HT300 UGV was selected because it meets the Bundeswehr's evolving requirements for bomb disposal (EOD) and counter-IED missions. Purpose-built for high-risk operations in complex terrain, the HT300 features an advanced grapple, exceptional traction, and mobility over uneven, unstable, and variable terrain.

"This order represents a significant milestone in Telerob's 30-year history of innovation and reliable excellence," explained Florian Gruener, Managing Director of Telerob and Product Line General Manager for Uncrewed Ground Vehicles. "It is one of the most significant contracts we have won in the past 15 years and underscores our long-term strategic partnership with the German Armed Forces. These next-generation systems will be built at our state-of-the-art facility in Ostfildern, Germany, and will deliver the precision, reliability, and operational advantages required for today's missions."

The telemax™ HT300 is part of AV's growing portfolio of multi-role unmanned systems designed for force protection, mission success, and operator safety in the world's most complex operational environments.
