  "account": "German defense technology company ARX Robotics and Ukrainian defense technology firm Roboneers have agreed to a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing unmanned ground warfare capabilities for Ukraine's Armed Forces. The collaboration, signed in Kyiv over the weekend with Chancellor Friedrich Merz and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, focuses on integrating both companies' systems and joint development efforts.\n\nARX Robotics and Roboneers have already been working closely, supplying the Ukrainian military with ground drones. In June 2026, the companies formed a joint venture, ARX Industries, to manufacture the Rys Pro Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) in Ukraine and Germany. Marc Wietfeld, CEO of ARX Robotics, emphasized the importance of software-defined unmanned defense solutions for modern land forces.\n\nTogether, ARX Robotics and Roboneers aim to supply Ukraine with a robust yet intelligent UGV fleet on a large scale, while ensuring that battlefield lessons are incorporated into land systems development for other Western armies. Ukraine estimates the demand for unmanned ground systems at 50,000 units for 2026.\n\nAlready the largest Western-built fleet in Ukraine, ARX Robotics' Gereon ground drone has demonstrated its ability to scale production and manufacture large quantities of ground drones in a short timeframe, having recently partnered with major German industrial partners like Deutz.",
