A consortium of several dozen European companies and institutions, led by Milrem Robotics and including five Estonian companies, received 50 million euros in funding from the European Defense Fund at the end of April
The support will go to a project that aims to develop next-generation unmanned ground systems.
The consortium’s €55 million project, which was submitted to the Defence Fund in the 2024 application round, was finally approved on the last day of April. It is a follow-up to the iMUGS project, iMUGS2, which was successfully completed in 2023, and aims to accelerate research and move quickly towards practical, deployable solutions.
