Ukraine's Defense Ministry codified TERMIT for operational use by Defence Forces units in June 2025 after earlier models were already working on the front line; Quantum Systems and Tencore later described TerMIT as a combat-deployed UGV family used by more than 50 Ukrainian brigades.
Role detailsTerMIT 2.0
- Termit 2.0
- TERMIT UGV
TerMIT 2.0 is Tencore's modular Ukrainian tracked unmanned ground vehicle, an upgraded front-line UGV family used for logistics, evacuation, engineering, mine laying, and weapon-station carriage in the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.

Upgrade Notes
The 2.0 update is most visible in mobility and maintainability rather than in a single new weapon.
| Change | Reported detail | Effect on use |
|---|---|---|
| Range | Reported increase from 20 km to 40 km. | Extends round-trip logistics and evacuation routes. |
| Speed | Reported increase from about 7-8 km/h to 15 km/h, with two speed modes. | Improves movement between cover and makes the robot less tied to slow escort tasks. |
| Tracks | Factory-made rubber tracks with metal cord replaced improvised conveyor-belt tracks. | Improves durability, noise, and field adjustment time. |
| Electronics | Defender Media reported a move from a standard flight controller to an onboard computer. | Supports the shift toward a more software-defined ground platform. |
| Protection | Tencore lists optional armor and STANAG 2920 / AEP-2920 V50 ballistic protection. | Frames the armored configuration as a protected carrier, not a crewed combat vehicle. |
Carried Weapons And Engineering Payloads
TerMIT 2.0 is presented as a modular carrier, with public reporting identifying both weapon-station and engineering payloads.
| Carried item | Item type | Carriage evidence |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Automatic grenade launcher module | Defender Media reported that the TerMIT 2.0 platform had been fitted with an Mk19 combat module on the Burya turret from Frontline. |
![]() | Anti-tank mine payload | Mezha reported a TerMIT mine-laying configuration with two compartments able to carry and emplace up to 20 TM-62 anti-tank mines. Sources: Mezha on TerMIT engineering modules |
Mission Modules
Public sources describe TerMIT 2.0 as a modular tracked base whose battlefield value comes from swapping mission equipment rather than from one fixed payload.
| Mission set | Documented configuration | Reader context |
|---|---|---|
| Logistics and evacuation | Defense Ministry and manufacturer material describe cargo transport, medical evacuation, and additional-equipment carriage. | These roles keep personnel farther from exposed front-line routes. |
| Fire support | Defender Media reported integration with an Mk19 combat module on the Burya turret. | The platform can serve as a remote carrier for a crew-served weapon station when a unit accepts the communications and fire-control limits of a ground robot. |
| Mine laying | Mezha reported two mine-laying compartments for up to 20 TM-62 anti-tank mines. | This turns the UGV into a remote engineering and area-denial platform. |
| Barriers | Mezha reported an Egoza barrier module able to deploy up to 100 m of wire obstacle. | The module supports obstacle creation with less direct exposure for engineers. |
| Software-defined control | Quantum Systems describes TerMIT as integrated into MOSAIC UXS for continuing software and integration updates. | The June 2026 co-production plan frames TerMIT as part of a broader unmanned-systems control architecture. |
