UNEX impressed the competition judges with its high mobility, amphibious capability, payload capacity, and operability from a Ground Control Station at extended distances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UNEX UGV is designed for high-risk operations beyond conventional routes, combining robust payload capacity of up to 1,700 kg with adaptability to complex terrain. The platform is fully amphibious, electrically driven, and capable of handling obstacles up to 1 m high. Its modular architecture allows integration with additional systems and payloads, enabling flexible deployment depending on operational requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur unmatched mobility, partnered with interoperability with US Army TAK systems, sets us apart. Being selected by the US Army enters ABRIS DG into a new and exciting era,\u201d said Juandr\u00e9 de Bruyn, CEO of ABRIS DG. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ABRIS-3.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ABRIS-3.png.png 1280w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ABRIS-3.png.png?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ABRIS-3.png.png?resize=768,576 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ABRIS-3.png.png?resize=1024,768 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe would like to thank our partners Mountain Horse Solutions LLC, XTech, G-TEAD &amp; the 2nd Cavalry Regiment for all of their support over the competition,\u201d added Andrew Hunter, Director of Business Development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our UNEX solution is now set to step onto the bigger stage, at the forefront of operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">____________________________________ <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>About ABRIS Design Group: <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ABRIS Design Group is an international group of companies that specialises in UAV, UGV and mission management systems.
