TSR helmet and TAC6: optimum protection for tactical operations

Jürgen Hellwig-Meller — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 10:49:49 +0000

The TSR helmet was developed with the aim of providing search and reconnaissance units with a high degree of flexibility, comfort and functionality. Thanks to its features, it effectively protects against the most common threats associated with explosions: Overpressure, fragmentation, impact and heat. The TSR helmet is compatible with various tactical search and reconnaissance suits and fits perfectly with the TAC6 suit. Together they offer an ideal balance of protection, mobility and flexibility for demanding missions. However, this equipment does not replace a full NIJ standard bomb suit.

ELROB 2026: ELP robotics under real operating conditions

Jürgen Hellwig-Meller — Wed, 06 May 2026 12:58:35 +0000

From June 15 to 19, 2026, it’s that time of year again: our robotics experts are taking part in the European Land Robot Trial (ELROB) in Switzerland – one of the most demanding international competitions for unmanned systems in safety-relevant environments. Over the course of five days, companies, researchers, users, authorities and organizations with security tasks from various countries will compete and present their technologies under realistic operating conditions.

The competition comprises four central disciplines: Convoying, Recon, Mule (transport) and Search & Rescue (SAR). This year, the focus is particularly on the coordinated interaction of unmanned ground and air vehicles (UGV/UAS).

We have already impressed with our strong performance at ELROB on several occasions and have received awards for our systems. In 2026, we will continue to pursue the goal of demonstrating innovative approaches and actively shaping the further development of robust, practical robotics solutions.

Successful range tests with impressive performance

Jürgen Hellwig-Meller — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:05:59 +0000

Last week, our team of ELP experts carried out successful radio range tests together with our partner Persistent Systems – with impressive results. Using sector and point-to-point antennas in combination with the powerful MPU5 MANET system, stable connections were achieved over a distance of more than 60 km.

Even over this great distance, video, audio and data transmissions were ensured reliably, stably and in consistently high quality. The tests impressively demonstrate the potential of this technology – especially for demanding communication scenarios.

Special thanks go to Persistent Systems for their excellent cooperation and valuable support during the entire test phase.

STANAG 2036 compliant marking system on the Enforce Tac 2026

Jürgen Hellwig-Meller — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 10:37:07 +0000

The system covers a wide range of applications, from the rapid marking of individual found munitions by infantry forces to the marking of minefields and clearing lanes by engineer troops. Different equipment variants make it possible to adapt the scope to the respective mission, the terrain and the duration of the cordon. Thanks to its modular design, the system can be expanded as required. It therefore offers a practical solution for military forces that need to mark hazardous areas in the field quickly, clearly and in accordance with STANAG 2036. On display at Enforce Tac 2026 in Nuremberg.

Roboverse Reply and ELP competed together at the ELROB 2024 (European Land Robot Trials)

Jürgen Hellwig-Meller — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 09:36:45 +0000

From June 24th to 28th, military robotics experts from all over the world gathered at the Wehrtechnische Dienststelle in Trier for the ELROB 2024 (European Land Robot Trials). Now in its twelfth year, this event is known for its challenging, practical tasks in realistic deployment scenarios.

This year, Roboverse Reply and ELP GmbH European Logistic Partners presented as a joint team the advances in bomb disposal technology using the agile walking robot Spot from Boston Dynamics. Spot’s ability to carry various additional payloads allows it to be used in potentially dangerous and hard-to-reach areas. For example, operators can precisely place mobile X-ray systems from a safe distance or use additional sensors to analyze hazardous situations. For five days, the system was put through its paces in various disciplines.

We would like to thank Roboverse Reply for the excellent teamwork and the Fraunhofer Institute for organizing this unique event.
