About
About DOK-ING
The product range spans mission-specific tracked vehicles rather than one common UGV. MV-4 Scorpion and the larger MV-10 Bison are designed for mine-clearance work, while MV-2 Honey Badger supports lighter engineering and EOD tasks. Interchangeable tools, cameras and remote-control systems allow operators to clear vegetation, disturb soil or manipulate hazardous objects while remaining outside the immediate danger area.
MVC8 Komodo extends the platform approach into CBRN reconnaissance, decontamination and casualty or equipment transport, while MVF-5 Tusk addresses firefighting in industrial and high-risk environments. The business also provides operator training, spare parts, maintenance and lifecycle upgrades, making deployment support part of the system rather than ending at vehicle delivery.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-07-01 - Acquisition - Rheinmetall completes majority acquisition of DOK-ING
The transaction closed on 1 July 2026 after the companies signed their agreement in March. Rheinmetall said the acquisition adds DOK-ING’s heavy unmanned and autonomous ground systems to its vehicle portfolio. The announcement specifically identifies the modular hybrid Komodo platform within that product scope.
Source - 2026-03-04 - Partnership - DOK-ING and Rheinmetall partner on Komodo unmanned systems
Rheinmetall is contributing capability modules and equipment kits for planned Komodo configurations. The partners identified fire support, demining, mine-laying, autonomy and logistics as development areas. Komodo is the base platform for the planned European heavy-duty unmanned-system configurations.

The configuration combines DOK-ING’s modular unmanned ground vehicle with Pearson minefield-breaching and route-clearance equipment. The system is designed to move hazardous engineer tasks away from crewed vehicles. DOK-ING also identifies counter-UAS, vSHORAD, CBRNe and mobility roles for Komodo configurations.

The meeting gave NATO representatives a direct review of DOK-ING’s current unmanned-ground-system portfolio. MV-8 Komodo was shown alongside the larger MV-10 BISON platform. The company discussed the systems in defence and resilience contexts without announcing a procurement or deployment.
Source - 2025-10-24 - Partnership - DOK-ING and Valhalla integrate air-defence turret on MV-8 Komodo
The companies agreed to develop unmanned ground-based air-defence systems together. The displayed configuration paired Komodo’s modular vehicle platform with Valhalla’s unmanned 25 mm turret. The cooperation targets counter-UAS and very-short-range air-defence missions.
Source - 2025-10-14 - Deployment - DOK-ING MV-10 Nadiya mine-clearing robot returns to service after Lancet strike
The MV-10 had been delivered to Ukraine's State Special Transport Service in February 2024. A3Tech and DOK-ING restored the damaged machine in 20 days. The restored robot returned to clearing fields in eastern Ukraine.
