Frontline Robotics and Danish-Ukrainian firm Dropla have signed an agreement to integrate the BURIA remote weapon station (RWS) into the LOGIST unmanned ground vehicle (UGV).
The move combines a logistics-focused ground drone with an armed remote weapon system, expanding LOGIST’s role beyond cargo transport into combat support and force protection missions.
BURIA is expected to add precision-engagement capabilities while preserving the UGV’s mobility and autonomous functions.
Signed at Eurosatory 2026 in Paris, the agreement marks the start of a joint effort to develop a multi-purpose unmanned ground system that combines mobility, fire support, and AI-enabled situational awareness.
“Military units increasingly require integrated systems rather than standalone platforms,” said Mykyta Rozhkov, Frontline Robotics Chief Business Development Officer.
“By combining our developments, we are creating a modular robotic capability that can support logistics, combat support and semi-autonomous missions.”
Precise Targeting
Frontline Robotics’ BURIA RWS is designed to engage targets accurately from protected positions.
The system can be equipped with weapons such as the Mk 19 automatic grenade launcher, the Browning M2 heavy machine gun, and other military armaments.
An integrated ballistic computer uses target coordinates to calculate firing solutions, helping maintain long-range accuracy while keeping operators under cover and away from direct enemy fire.
A ‘Highly-Survivable’ UGV
Originally developed for resupply and combat support missions, the 6×6 LOGIST platform is engineered to operate in contested environments.
It can carry payloads of up to 250 kilograms (551 pounds) and features a multi-layer communications architecture to maintain connectivity during operations.
Integrated self-protection systems allow the UGV to continue operating in high-threat environments and maintain mobility even after sustaining significant damage.
