Marc Wietfeld, founder and CEO of ARX Robotics, remarked on the modern challenges faced by armies stating, 'the battlefield of the future is digital', emphasizing that despite this, many Western armies still use outdated, analog systems that are disconnected from advanced technology. He elaborated on the importance of integrating new warfare assets like drones and AI to existing fleets, which currently cannot collaborate: 'the new assets of warfare cannot interconnect or collaborate with our existing fleets.'
Highlighting the shortcomings of current military procurement, Wietfeld detailed the German army's procurement of 3,500 Mercedes trucks stating, 'nothing is software capable. Nothing is interconnected. There's not even a radio on it.' He points out this significant gap, stressing how ARX's innovations like their operating system can address such shortcomings in legacy systems.
Wietfeld further defined ARX's innovation as 'a sort of Amazon Firestick for existing legacy fleets of the NATO armed forces.' This analogy aptly conveys their goal of enhancing and robotizing traditional military vehicles, making them suitable for modern warfare through technology integration.
