Several defense companies unveiled new military ground vehicles for a wide variety of international programs and applications during at the Defense & Security Equipment International (DSEI) 2025 conference and exhibition this week.

Check out the new vehicles launched by General Dynamics Land Systems, Lockheed Martin, Milrem Robotics, Rheinmetall, and Patria below.

Patria TRACKX

Patria's TRACKX ground vehicle, pictured here, was officially launched at DSEI 2025.

Patria, the Finland-based defense technology company, introduced a new tracked all-terrain vehicle, Patria TRACKX. Designed for navigating challenging terrain and environmental conditions, Patria developed the new vehicle within the framework of the multinational EDF-funded FAMOUS development program, in collaboration with several industrial partners and program member nations.

Key features of the new vehicle include wide rubber tracks, a low, centrally located center of gravity and independent, adjustable hydropneumatics suspension for each road wheel, nearly flat bottom without torsion bars. The two-track vehicle has an empty weight of 12 tons, and a payload of 3.5 tons. TRACKX serves as an armored personnel carrier equipped with a 12.7 mm machine gun, and a crew compartment with enough room for 10 soldiers with blast-attenuating seats.

“Patria is very proud to have launched this new exceptional all-terrain tracked vehicle, Patria TRACKX, on the market. This vehicle aligns perfectly with the high-level requirements established by the FAMOUS program member nations, and it offers an optimal solution for various applications that demand high mobility standards for military units”, said Jussi Järvinen, Executive Vice President, Protected Mobility at Patria. “We have already tested this vehicle extensively and the aim is for Patria TRACKX to be ready for serial production in 2027.”

AJAX IFV

General Dynamics Land Systems–UK (GDLS-UK), in collaboration with Lockheed Martin’s Ampthill facility in Bedfordshire, UK, unveiled the next-generation AJAX Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV).

The AJAX IFV compliments the current generation Ajax family of vehicles already in service with the British Army, offering enhanced lethality, survivability, and digital integration. Designed to meet the demands of modern multi-domain operations, AJAX IFV supports interoperability, logistical efficiency, and operational readiness across North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and European Union (EU) defense frameworks.

AJAX IFV features a cutting-edge uncrewed turret developed by Lockheed Martin at its UK turret facility in Bedfordshire. GDLS-UK has not released major details about the design features or capabilities of the AJAX IFV. However, the company is actively engaging with delegations from Eastern Europe and the Middle East to explore export opportunities, supported by the UK Government’s Defense Industrial Strategy.

“AJAX IFV represents the convergence of sovereign innovation, strategic foresight, and industrial strength. It’s not just a platform — it’s a product of the UK’s Defense Industrial Strategy and a direct response to the Strategic Defense Review’s call for adaptable, export-ready capability. Designed, built and supported in Britain, AJAX IFV will contribute to the British Army’s 10x lethality through advanced digital integration and modularity, enabling NATO-first operations with unmatched interoperability," said Scott Milne, Vice President & General Manager at GDLS-UK.

HAVOC Robotic Combat Vehicle

Milrem Robotics, the Estonia-based robotics developer, officially launched its new HAVOC 8×8 Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV).

The HAVOC RCV has been designed to deliver exceptional performance on the modern battlefield, combining hybrid electric propulsion with advanced autonomy for unmatched speed, agility, and stealth. Capable of reaching 110 km/h on roads and maintaining 50 km/h off-road, the HAVOC offers an operational range of up to 600 km. It weighs 15 tons without payload and is built to negotiate steep gradients, vertical steps, and fording streams.

The HAVOC RCV features the PROTECTOR Medium Caliber Turret from KONGSBERG and counter uncrewed aircraft system (C-UAS) missiles from Frankenburg Technologies. Equipped with a high-rate 30 mm cannon, the HAVOC is capable of improving offensive capabilities and fulfills the requirements of both reconnaissance and strike missions.

“HAVOC represents a new standard in unmanned ground combat systems. Its hybrid-electric propulsion, advanced autonomy, and expanded armament options reaffirm our commitment to delivering the most capable systems for modern European defence forces," said Patrick Shepherd, acting Chief Product Officer at Milrem Robotics.

Fuchs JAGM

In collaboration with Lockheed Martin, German military vehicle maker Rheinmetall introduced the Fuchs JAGM, a highly mobile combat vehicle designed to combat a wide range of threats on land and in the air.

Fuchs JAGM is equipped with 24 vertically launched AGM-179 Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) or AGM-114L HELLFIRE Longbow guided missiles from Lockheed Martin. In combination with its state-of-the-art sensor package, it can detect and engage multiple threats on the battlefield at any time. The Fuchs JAGM is thus capable of engaging up to 24 battle tanks, as well as air targets in rapid succession without reloading.

JAGM is a multi-sensor missile that can also be fired in ground-to-ground and ground-to-air applications. The missile has a range of up to 16 kilometers and features a tandem shaped charge fragmentation warhead. The JAGM's multimode seeker, which has been proven in numerous flight tests, features an improved semi-active laser sensor (SAL) for precision strikes and a fire-and-forget millimeter wave radar (MMW) for moving targets in all weather conditions.

The Fuchs Evolution, the latest version of Rheinmetall's battle-proven and reliable 6x6 armored transport vehicle, serves as the carrier vehicle for the system.

With more than sixty variants in service in over nine countries, the Fuchs has earned an excellent reputation worldwide. The latest Fuchs variant features an improved powertrain with ABS and CTIS, a modern digital electrical system and a digital vehicle architecture in accordance with NATO Generic Vehicle Architecture (NGVA). The vehicle offers a high level of protection against ballistic and CBRN threats. It is also designed for higher payloads. Integrated test equipment (BITE) with interactive maintenance procedures and external vehicle diagnostics facilitates fleet management. The enlarged interior provides greater driving and operating comfort.

"By combining the Fuchs, which has proven itself in service from the North Cape to the deserts of the Middle East, with the precision of the JAGM and HELLFIRE, we are setting a new standard for modern guided missile systems on the battlefield. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Lockheed Martin and identifying new opportunities to drive growth and innovation in the global defense industry," said Dr. Björn Bernhard, Head of Rheinmetall's Vehicle Systems Division.
