Supplies such as equipment, water, firewood, fuel or ammunition, which are currently transported manually, can now be distributed using the new remote-controlled, unmanned system.

THeMIS will be used in environments that are difficult for humans to reach. All its devices are installed inside the tracks, leaving the middle platform free for different superstructures, the company said.
