Egypt Develops Remote Controlled Armed Robot Anubis for Combat Use

The Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI) has unveiled a new range of locally produced defense technologies during an inspection visit, including an advanced 30mm combat turret currently in production. The turret will be equipped with state-of-the-art targeting and vision systems, warning systems, and the capability to mount two anti-tank guided missiles.

Among the highlights was the introduction of “Anubis”, a small remote-controlled wheeled robot armed with a remotely operated combat turret. This versatile system can be fitted with a 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun or a grenade launcher. It can also be redesigned to carry guided missiles or even small drones, enhancing its adaptability for various combat missions.

The AOI chairman also reviewed ongoing upgrades to Egypt’s Fahd armored vehicle, alongside new armored platforms that have already been exported to several African nations. The visit also featured the organization’s latest production of cash transport vehicles, firefighting trucks, mobile banking units, and ambulances, as well as the development of lithium batteries to support the growing electric mobility sector.

Concluding the tour, Lieutenant General Mokhtar Abdel Latif praised the quality of the AOI’s products and stressed the importance of increasing the local component ratio, expanding into new export markets, and maintaining world-class quality standards while offering competitive pricing and strong after-sales services.
