The Ministry of Defence has codified a new version of the TerMIT UGV with enhanced dynamic performance

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence has codified and approved for use in the Armed Forces a modernised version of the TerMIT unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). According to the Ministry, the updated tracked UGV features enhanced dynamic performance and has strong potential for further improvement.

TerMIT is the flagship product of Tencore, a company that has been supplying ground robots to the Defence Forces since 2024. The Ministry notes that many units of the previous TerMIT iteration are already in operation on the front line.

The TerMIT UGV can carry up to 300 kg of cargo. Thanks to its low profile, low centre of gravity, and tracked chassis, the ground robot can operate across various terrains and surfaces – including rough off-road conditions, steep slopes, trenches, and obstacle-strewn areas. Its battery capacity allows for several hours of continuous operation, during which the robot can cover several dozen kilometres.

The TerMIT platform is produced in multiple configurations. Variants are available for medical evacuation, logistics missions, area mining, and transporting additional gear. TerMIT UGVs can also serve as carriers for combat modules.

Tencore was founded in the winter of 2024. In just a year and a half, the company has grown from 5 to 150 employees, now produces hundreds of robots per month, has reached profitability, and is planning a strategic partnership with a major Western defence player. Co-founder and CEO Maksym Vasylenko discussed this in more detail in an interview with Defender Media.
