Tencore released a social‑media demonstration of the CASEVAC module and confirmed the unit is currently in a testing phase rather than a finalized, codified variant. (thedefender.media) The company says the evacuation module uses an armoured capsule plus a ballistic blanket and was developed against STANAG 2920 ballistic protection criteria, with added thermal‑camouflage measures to lower infrared signature. (thedefender.media) The TerMIT chassis that carries the module is rated for up to 300 kg of payload and Tencore advertises multi‑hour battery endurance with the ability to traverse “tens of kilometres” depending on terrain. (en.defence-ua.com) Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence officially codified the TERMIT UGV for military use on June 25, 2025, and subsequent reporting indicates the Armed Forces have taken delivery of operational TerMIT units. (techukraine.org) TerMIT has already been integrated with other systems on the market—Frontline’s Burya remote weapon station was combined with the TerMIT to field Mk‑19 grenade launchers remotely. (militarnyi.com) Tencore closed a $3.74 million investment from the Ukrainian‑American group MITS Capital in July 2025, and the company has reported producing over 800 robots to date while targeting a production run of roughly 2,000 units.
