ARX Robotics Raises €11M in Series A Round

Founded in 2022 by ex-German Armed Forces officers, ARX builds autonomous unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and Mithra OS—the first AI-powered operating system to upgrade old military vehicles. Their modular, open-architecture systems enhance ground operations and mission-readiness using a fully European supply chain.

As European forces face pressure to modernise, ARX’s scalable, AI-driven technology offers a timely solution. Their systems are already in use by six European armed forces, including in Germany, Ukraine and the UK.

Marc Wietfeld, Founder and CEO of ARX Robotics, shared: With the extension of our Series A, we are deliberately accelerating the scaling of existing structures: from our modular software architecture and serial production to building a top-tier, interdisciplinary team.

In today’s geopolitical environment, marked by growing uncertainty, speed, and the ability to act at the right time are crucial. At ARX Robotics, we stand for software-defined defence, designed and developed in Europe, that is agile, scalable, and technologically sovereign.

With the new funding, ARX Robotics will expand its software-first platform to further digitize and connect unmanned combat vehicles. It also plans to speed up mass production of its tactical UGVs known for their open architecture and seamless integration.

The company will focus on setting up new production facilities and forging strategic partnerships across Europe. This effort aims to scale up the industrial capacity needed for rapid cost-effective manufacturing and support Europe’s defence reindustrialisation.

A key priority is advancing ARX’s proprietary Mithra OS to network UGVs and modernize heavy combat vehicles to meet the demands of today’s land forces.

Andreas Schwarzenbrunner, General Partner at Speedinvest commented: ARX Robotics is uniquely positioned to strengthen Europe’s defence capabilities and technological sovereignty through modern, scalable robotics, built on European technology and with a clear focus on software-defined defence.

We believe that within the intersection of critical infrastructure, deep tech, and geopolitical urgency, some of the most consequential companies of the next decade will emerge. ARX Robotics exemplifies this new generation of strategically relevant, tech-driven companies that are actively advancing Europe’s independence in key technologies.

ARX recently formed strategic partnerships with global leaders like Daimler and Renk to drive digital transformation, boost industrial growth and support international expansion.

The company also plans to expand its team by bringing in top talent—experts in AI, software architecture, and system integration, along with seasoned professionals from Europe’s automotive sector.
