RMachine - unmanned ground system for: communication demining surveillance reconnaissance perimeter security logistics support resupply missions evacuation patrollin UAVs' mothership
We are raising investment to develop and scale a multifunctional, dual-use unmanned solution capable of performing a wide range of defense and civilian missions
Our Strategy
The Problem We Address
Modern def- and high-risk civilian missions still rely on humans for repetitive, dangerous tasks, exposing lives and limiting scalability. Existing robotic solutions are costly, hard to deploy at scale, and built for narrow use cases. As a result, robotics has yet to become a systemic pillar of modern defense or high-risk civilian op-s.
Our Mission
is to build a scalable robotic system for defense and security operations that replaces manpower-intensive tasks with distributed, semi-autonomous units, reducing human risk and increasing operational effectiveness.
Our Vision
is a future where robotic systems form a core layer of national defense and high-risk civillian missions, allowing even smaller countries to deter and resist aggression through technological superiority rather than numerical advantage.
Strategic Impact
Our solution transforms robotics from a niche capability into a force multiplier at scale. By enabling robotic saturation of the battlefield and high-risk zones, we increase military effectiveness, protect human lives, and allow smaller nations to defend their sovereignty when equipped with the right systems. This is not just a product. It is an infrastructure layer for modern defense.
If you are an investor, grant fund, or strategic partner ready to back scalable defense and dual-use technology, now is the time to engage. Submit the form and let’s discuss how this project can deliver both strategic impact and strong investment returns.
What Makes RMachine Truly Unique?
Integrated Autonomous Mission System (Hardware + Software + Comms)
RMachine is not a standalone UGV - it is a full-stack autonomous mission system that unifies a robust unmanned ground platform, an AI-driven mission operating system, and a resilient multi-channel communication layer. This combination enables coordinated multi-robot missions impossible for single-purpose ground vehicles.
AI-Powered Situational Awareness & Mission Control
The system integrates AI/ML processing for: multi-sensor fusion, automated threat detection, autonomous navigation, tactical mission planning. The Mission Planner allows one operator to supervise entire fleets with minimal cognitive load, shifting robotics from “remote-controlled tool” to “autonomous mission partner.”
Resilient, Multi-Layer Communications
RMachine combines mesh networking, 4G/5G, LoRa, Starlink, military radios, and fallback peer-to-peer channels. This architecture ensures mission continuity even under jamming, degraded connectivity, or GNSS denial - enabling robots to operate in the most contested environments.
Mission Resilience & Self-Recovery Logic
Through autonomous behaviours: retreat, regroup, task reassignment, or fallback navigation the system can maintain mission continuity despite platform loss, communication degradation, or environmental threats.
Designed for Production & Industrial Scaling in Europe
EU-based legal entity & supply chain sovereignty Modular manufacturing aligned with NATO standards Ready for certification pathways (cybersecurity, MIL-spec, export compliance) This makes RMachine an attractive candidate for EU defence programs (EDF, PESCO, national MoDs).
Modular, Multi-Role Architecture
A single platform can instantly switch roles thanks to plug-and-play mission modules. RMachine supports logistics, demining, sensing, perimeter protection, communication relay, evacuation assistance, drone docking/charging (“mothership mode”), and more - all within one unified ecosystem. This reduces procurement cost, simplifies training, and enables rapid adaptation to emerging mission needs.
Fleet-Level Autonomy & Swarm Coordination
Designed for missions where one robot is never enough, RMachine enables a fleet of platforms to share vision, tasks, and decision-making in real time. Robots operate as a coordinated system - allocating tasks, rerouting around threats, extending coverage, and recovering from EW disruption - dramatically increasing operational scalability and mission resilience.
Energy Efficiency & Long Endurance
The platform is engineered for extreme autonomy, capable of multi-day deployments without resupply. Long endurance unlocks missions where human presence is impossible or too risky: persistent surveillance, demining lanes, communication relay, patrols, and more.
Affordable Scalability
Unlike incumbents priced at €300k+, RMachine’s cost structure (≈€40k per platform) enables deployment of fleets, not individual robots. This radically shifts economics from “single expensive tool” to “scalable operational capability.”
Customizable, Extensible, and Dual-Use Ready
The flexible architecture allows: integration with third-party modules and sensors, adaptation to civil high-risk operations (CBRN, firefighting support, disaster response), compliance with EU requirements for dual-use innovation. This extensibility significantly broadens addressable markets.
Validated by Grants, Investors, and the Military (LOIs)

Granted by brave1
In 2024, RMachine received a development grant from Brave1, the Ukrainian government defense innovation platform. This support confirms the operational relevance of the project and its high priority for military and security applications.

Invested by ScaleWolf
In 2023, RMachine secured its first pre-seed investment, providing early validation of the project’s vision and laying a strong foundation for further development, scalable growth, market readiness, and long-term execution.

Representative of Electronic Warfare & Intelligence Unit
“We believe RMachines can become a key enabler of this concept. The future lies in autonomous mobile EW platforms capable of moving across the battlefield and flexibly executing missions.”

Representative of Strike UGV Unit
“Group-level of RMachine UGV control is essential. Platforms need to communicate, coordinate, and share data as a single network to increase survivability and overall effectiveness.”

Representative of Logistics & Support Unit
“Autonomous ground vehicles capable of operating as part of a coordinated system are critical for modern operations. Solutions such as RMachine can significantly improve resupply, evacuation, and support tasks while reducing exposure of personnel to high-risk zones.”

European Commission (Security & Defence / Horizon Europe)
The European Commission, through its security and defence research programs, has consistently emphasized the need to automate operations in border security and high-risk environments. Ground robotic systems are increasingly recognized as a key capability for reducing human exposure while maintaining operational effectiveness.
RMachine Features
