About the project
iMUGS2 represents the next phase of European defence innovation. Coordinated by Milrem Robotics, a consortium of 29 industry leaders is transforming how manned and unmanned systems interact. By developing a standardized, system-of-systems architecture, iMUGS2 is securing Europe’s technological edge and providing the modularity needed for the modern tactical environment.
Building on the technological foundation of its predecessor iMUGS, iMUGS2 bridges the gap between experimental robotics and practical, deployable battlefield solutions to address the complex challenges of the land domain. By addressing modern operational constraints, the project reinforces Europe’s technological sovereignty in critical defence sectors – specifically advancing AI-driven autonomy, seamless systems integration, resilient communications, and robust command-and-control capabilities.
A unified vision for European autonomous defence
iMUGS2 pursues three strategic objectives:
- to develop and demonstrate combat-ready unmanned ground systems that support dismounted troops;
- to define operational concepts showing how unmanned ground and aerial systems can improve infantry battalion operations and cross-domain cooperation;
- and to advance modular, open architectures and lifecycle management frameworks that ensure interoperability across both legacy and future platforms.
The iMUGS2 Consortium comprises 29 partners from 15 European Union member states. The group includes large corporations, mid-sized businesses, SMEs, and research organisations. LMT Group is a member of the Consortium.
LMT in iMUGS2
As a part of the iMUGS2 Consortium, the LMT leads the development of resilient 4G/5G tactical communications and advanced command-and-control (C2) capabilities, enabling reliable operations in contested and complex environments. By spearheading the integration of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) into the project’s system-of-systems architecture, LMT ensures seamless air-ground interoperability that is aligned with demanding operational requirements. Furthermore, LMT bridges the gap between military and commercial networks to enable secure and reliable UxV control, while leveraging a Latvian-developed UGV to test, validate, and refine future unmanned ground vehicle concepts in realistic operational scenarios.
Through iMUGS2, LMT contributes to shaping interoperability, future-proof European defence capabilities that are scalable, resilient, and designed for operational deployment.
