Croatian company DOK-ING and Slovenian Valhalla unveiled a new unmanned ground combat vehicle during the SIDEC defense fair in Slovenia.

The system combines the MV-8 Komodo robotic platform with the remotely controlled Mangart 25 AD turret, marking a step forward in the development of autonomous battlefield solutions.

The MV-8 Komodo is designed to provide high mobility and durability over difficult terrain, capable of base protection, surveillance, and operations in high-risk areas. The Mangart 25 AD, developed by Valhalla, is equipped with a 25 mm Rheinmetall KBA autocannon, MBDA SADM missile launchers, HENSOLDT AESA radar, and SAFRAN Paseo optical system, allowing it to engage both aerial and ground threats.

According to the companies, the new system addresses modern security demands by combining remote lethality with autonomous operation. The vehicle is part of a global trend aimed at reducing troop exposure in combat, offering scalable and modular firepower. While there is no information yet on production or clients, the system is operational and ready for export.
