The Spanish army recently tested a number of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV), among them the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Robattle LR3 reconnaissance vehicle.

The Spanish website Infodefensa.com reports that the 2nd "Rey Alfonso XIII" infantry brigade of the Spanish Legion (not the Foreign Legion) held a special training near Toledo in the middle of the month in which took part, in addition to the IAI's UGV, other UGVs. The site mentions Ascod's autonomous vehicle, the Milrem Robotics' Themis vehicle, and the Alano casualty evacuation vehicle.

The Robattle was revealed at the Eurosatory exhibition in June 2016. The system is designed to be integrated with tactical forces in mobile, dismounted operations and support a wide range of missions including intelligence, surveillance and armed reconnaissance; convoy protection, decoy, and ambush and attack. RoBattle is equipped with a modular "robotic kit" comprised of vehicle control, navigation, RT mapping and autonomy, sensors and mission payloads. The system can be operated autonomously in several levels and configured with wheels or tracks, to address the relevant operational needs. Operators can equip RoBattle with different payloads including manipulator arms, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensors and radars, and remotely controlled weapons

In February 2019, we reported that the Spanish Army had tested the REX IAI's UGV by a special military unit for testing new technologies and operating theory.
