ARX Robotics, which develops autonomous, modular unmanned ground systems and AI software for modernizing defence and dual-use operations, has raised an additional €11 million in a Series A extension led by Speedinvest, bringing total funding to €42 million.
- Launched in 2021 by Marc A. Wietfeld, Stefan Roebel, and Henrich Maximilian Wied, ARX Robotics offers autonomous unmanned ground systems and AI-powered software platforms that modernize legacy defence fleets and support dual-use applications through scalable, modular technology.
- The company develops Gereon, a rugged and versatile robotic platform for missions like reconnaissance, logistics, and crisis response, and Mithra OS, an AI-driven operating system that enables real-time autonomy, interoperability, and digital transformation of existing military vehicles.
- ARX’s systems are built on open architectures, ensuring flexibility, multi-connectivity, and cost-effective scalability across NATO, EU, and civilian environments, advancing mobile operational capability where speed, adaptability, and resilience matter most.
"To modernise and redefine the land domain, together with strong industrial partners, by upgrading legacy fleets, deploying autonomous systems, and setting a new baseline for what land capability looks like. We’re building the systems and the infrastructure to match. Not beside the old world, but inside it. And beyond it," ARX Robotics' team, commented on LinkedIn.
- In April 2025, the firm secured a €31 million Series A round led by HV Capital to scale up production of its unmanned ground systems across Europe.
Details of the deal
- The investemnt was led by Speedinvest, a Vienna-based venture capital firm that manages over €1 billion in assets, with HV Capital, Heliad AG, also joining the round.
- ARX Robotics will use the new €11 million investment to boost the rollout of its connected tactical ground systems, advance the capabilities of its AI-driven Mithra OS, and expand its manufacturing footprint across Europe.
- The funding will also support the formation of industrial alliances to streamline production and drive down costs, while enabling the company to bring on specialized talent in autonomy, systems engineering, and digital integration to meet growing demand for modern defence technologies.
