French robot DRAILER MARSEUS with Akeron LP missiles — a new step in unmanned warfare

DRAILER MARSEUS

At Techterre 2025, the French company Arquus unveiled a cool new thing — the DRAILER MARSEUS ground combat robot, which can carry as many as eight Akeron LP anti-tank missiles. This seriously increases its striking power and makes it an excellent assistant for infantry without unnecessary risk.

What is DRAILER MARSEUS?

This is a four-wheeled unmanned vehicle powered by a hybrid electric motor. It can travel up to 100 km at a speed of up to 20 km/h, while carrying a payload weighing up to 700 kg. That is, he can not only carry weapons, but also engage in reconnaissance, drone warfare, and even electronic warfare.

And what kind of rockets are Akeron LP?

These are modern fifth-generation anti-tank missiles weighing less than 100 kg. They have encrypted communication, the ability to work in the "shot and forget" mode or under operator control. The firing range is up to 8 km, and the target can be taken even from around a corner or over a mountain — out of line of sight.

The warhead of the missiles is tandem, meaning it effectively hits tanks with active protection, fortifications, lightly armored vehicles, and even manpower. In general, this is not just a toy — it is a real weapon of the future.

What is the good of such a system?

- Ranged combat: hitting targets at a distance of up to 8 km

. - Less risk to people: infantry can fire on the enemy without showing themselves.  

- Versatility: the vehicle can be a scout, fire support, and even fight enemy drones.  

- EU support: the MARSEUS project is funded by the European Defense Fund, which means it will continue to develop.

The final demonstration of the system's combat capabilities is scheduled for September 2025. If everything goes well, the DRAILER MARSEUS can become the standard for European armies — a mobile, autonomous and very powerful tool on the battlefield.

While the world is developing drones in the air, France is already actively developing ground-based drones. And if before they were more of an experiment, now they are fully operational weapons of the next generation.
