Rheinmetall Partners With Breaker to Integrate Autonomous Systems in Armored Vehicles

05:52 AM EDT, 10/06/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Rheinmetall (RHM.F) entered into a teaming agreement with defense technology startup Breaker to integrate human-machine teaming capabilities into armored vehicles. Breaker's tactical orchestration agent will be integrated into the Australian Boxer Combat Reconnaissance Vehicle, allowing crews to control autonomous systems by voice, according to a Tuesday release. The collaboration will combine crewed and uncrewed platforms without adding personnel. Breaker integrated its software into Rheinmetall Defence Australia's simulator within weeks and demonstrated the capability on a Boxer within six months of initial discussions, the company said.
