Ground Robotics defence companies in Germany

Builds programmable cyborg insect swarms — living organisms fitted with AI sensor backpacks and neural interfaces — for close-range reconnaissance in denied terrain, collapsed structures and urban environments where conventional robotics cannot operate.

Builds modular autonomous ground vehicles and fleet-digitisation software for Western armed forces, with systems combat-proven in Ukraine and contracted by the British Army.

Gereon RCS

A medium-class tracked unmanned ground vehicle built for front-line operations. It carries up to 500 kg, reaches 15 km/h, operates for up to 72 hours on a single charge and covers a range of 40 km. The modular ARX attachment system allows rapid reconfiguration for reconnaissance, casualty evacuation, logistics and effector carriage. Thermal night vision cameras are standard and control range extends to 4 km.

Builds hoistable mast systems, submarine components and torpedo-tube-launched unmanned surface vessels for naval forces worldwide.

AI-powered explosive ordnance recognition and disposal. SAFETREK app is the first AI software to detect, classify and geolocate mines and IEDs. Partners with ARX Robotics and WARGdrones on Project Vulture for rapid minefield breaching.

Builds the Greyshark family of autonomous underwater vehicles for long-range ISR and subsea infrastructure protection. The hydrogen-powered Foxtrot variant can operate for 16 weeks covering 11,000 nautical miles. Partnered with Rheinmetall for coastal defence integration.

GREYSHARK Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

Long-endurance autonomous underwater vehicle developed with EvoLogics for mine countermeasures, subsea infrastructure monitoring, ISR, coastline defence and patrol missions.

Power Electronics

Rugged pulse power, launcher power supply and naval UPS systems designed for weapon systems, navigation, communications, control and other mission-critical defence platforms.

Day and Night-View Systems

High-precision opto-electronic systems combining electro-optical sensors, thermal imaging and AI-assisted image processing for ground vehicles and naval platforms.

Counter-Drone Technology

AI-driven counter-drone capabilities focused on detection, classification and mission-system integration for defence and critical-infrastructure protection.

Designs and manufactures autonomous uncrewed surface vessels for naval defence including the Q-RECON series and underwater vehicles. Combines AI-powered Q-MIND autonomy software with maritime hardware for coastal surveillance and special forces operations.

Develops and manufactures modular robot automation solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises, offering flexible hardware kits and no-code software platforms.

Modular Robot Kit

A configurable industrial robot system built from interchangeable modules, supporting 1 to 8 axes with up to 40 kg payload, 2.5 m reach, and 0.1 mm repeat accuracy — deployable within weeks via a Robotics-as-a-Service model.

RobVision

AI-powered computer vision system that trains object recognition models from CAD data using synthetic images, enabling autonomous bin picking, depalletization, and label picking without manual labeling.

RobFlow

No-code robot programming software with drag-and-drop workflow nodes, digital twin simulation, and cloud-based remote deployment — enabling non-specialists to program complex automation tasks.

Spleenlab develops AI software for autonomous systems, including GPS-denied navigation, ISR, collision avoidance and drone autonomy for defence and robotics applications.
