XRC Robotics Expands NATO Footprint with MFP-1 Delivery to Denmark’s DALO

XRC Robotics is proud to announce the successful delivery of four MFP-1 Uncrewed Ground Vehicles (UGVs) to the Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO).

As Denmark begins its first structured military evaluation of autonomous ground systems, XRC Robotics has been selected to provide the ultra-lightweight, high-speed reconnaissance layer for the Royal Danish Army. This delivery marks a significant milestone in XRC’s international expansion, positioning our British-engineered technology at the heart of NATO’s force modernization.

Bridging the Capability Gap: Why Denmark Chose the MFP-1

The Danish Army’s trials at the Slagelse training site are focused on a critical lesson from modern conflict: reducing soldier exposure in "contested zones." To achieve this, Denmark required a layered robotic strategy. While heavier platforms handle the logistics, the XRC MFP-1 was selected as the agile "forward eye" for the dismounted soldier.

Weighing just 25kg, the MFP-1 is a true man-portable system designed for one-person lift and rapid deployment. Despite its compact size, it delivers a punch:

• High-Speed Intelligence: Speeds of up to 60 km/h allow for rapid scouting of urban and rural environments.

• Rugged Versatility: A 35kg payload capacity allows for the integration of advanced EO/IR cameras and sensors.

• Signature Management: Its low visual and acoustic profile makes it nearly invisible in environments where aerial drones might be compromised by electronic warfare.

The Power of In-House Sovereign Engineering

A key factor in this selection was XRC’s commitment to in-house engineering and manufacturing. By owning the entire design stack, we were able to meet DALO’s stringent requirements for a modular, resilient platform that isn't just a "black box" technology.

As XRC Robotics continues to grow its presence across NATO member states, this partnership with DALO reinforces our status as the UK’s leading exporter of high-performance robotics. We look forward to working closely with Danish forces as they shape the future of autonomous land operations.
