Dok-Ing

On 1 July 2026 Rheinmetall completed the acquisition of 51 per cent of the company, with the founder keeping 49 per cent, and the business now operates as Rheinmetall Unmanned Vehicles d.o.o. Its MVF-5 is a heavy-duty remotely controlled firefighting and obstacle-clearing robot that the company also offers for CBRN and hazmat stand-off tasks, a role that grew out of its demining machines.

The Brandenburg fire-protection academy in Germany took delivery of DOK-ING systems in November 2024 after tenders, and the MVF-5 entered operational wildfire use in July 2025 and was deployed in Germany against wildfires and unexploded ordnance risks. The sources read give no contract values.

Rheinmetall holds 51 per cent since the closing completed on 1 July 2026; the founder retains 49 per cent
