The Italian Army is conducting operational tests of the Wild Goose robotic transport system to support infantry mobility in rugged terrain.
According to Defence Blog, the tests are being carried out by the Italian Army’s 187th Parachute Regiment “Folgore”. This phase focuses on assessing the system’s performance in supporting infantry operations in complex terrain.
The effort aims to improve tactical micromobility for light infantry units, particularly airborne forces that require rapid deployment and operations with limited logistical support.
The evaluation examines how robotic transport systems can reduce the physical burden on soldiers while maintaining operational tempo in demanding environments, officials said.
Developed by Marom Dolphin, the Wild Goose platform is an electrically powered Modular Infantry Robotic System (IMRS) configured as a tactical carrier capable of transporting cargo, equipment, and personnel.
Its modular design allows for multiple configurations depending on mission requirements, including variants intended for logistical transport and casualty evacuation when necessary.
By shifting logistical weight to unmanned ground systems, infantry units can move faster, maintain endurance, and operate more effectively in challenging terrain.
