Türkiye’s Roketsan AGMOSS System Enables Real Time Control Of Four Unmanned Ground Vehicles In Combat Operations.

On August 10, 2025, as reported by Roketsan with a video, Türkiye’s leading defense manufacturer unveiled a major leap in network-centric warfare by integrating new autonomous capabilities into its KMC-U Tactical Missile Weapon System through the AGMOSS framework. This development positions the system not only as a high-mobility fire support platform but also as an intelligent command and control center, enabling fully coordinated operations between manned and unmanned assets on the battlefield. The advancement underscores the accelerating trend toward increased automation in combat operations while safeguarding human decision-making authority, a strategic shift with direct implications for modern warfare doctrines and NATO interoperability.

The AGMOSS (Network-Centric Autonomous Weapon System) upgrade represents a major step in integrating advanced command, control, and engagement capabilities into modern battlefield vehicles. By equipping the KMC-U with this system, the platform transforms into a centralized battlefield node capable of coordinating up to four unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) simultaneously. This integration extends to aerial assets, allowing seamless cooperation between ground and air systems for reconnaissance, target acquisition, and precision strike missions. AGMOSS enables real-time data exchange and autonomous decision-making, giving operators the ability to manage complex, multi-domain operations with reduced manpower. The KMC-U itself is a remote-controlled weapon station with 360-degree rotation, high mobility, and adaptable armament configurations, making it suitable for a wide variety of mission profiles. With the AGMOSS upgrade, it now supports advanced mission autonomy, manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T), and network-based control, enabling the coordination of different weapon systems in a single, cohesive network.

In terms of armament, the KMC-U can be equipped with up to four UMTAS or LUMTAS anti-tank guided missiles, both infrared or laser-guided, designed to defeat heavily armored targets at ranges of up to 8 kilometers. It can also mount up to eight Cirit 70 mm laser-guided rockets, offering precision engagement against lightly armored vehicles, fortifications, or soft targets. A mixed configuration of UMTAS/LUMTAS and Cirit rockets can be used to balance anti-armor capabilities with multi-role strike options, enhancing operational flexibility. During testing conducted on August 10, FNSS’s KAPLAN STA served as the primary command and control platform for a network of unmanned systems. This included a 4x4 UGV fitted with the KMC-U turret and linked to a UAV for airborne target designation, a PALEM UGV armed with the short-range KARAOK anti-tank guided missile and a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun for close defense, as well as two PUSU UGVs configured for unmanned operation and equipped with short-to-medium range ATGMs. Together, these assets demonstrated the AGMOSS-enabled KMC-U’s ability to orchestrate a coordinated, multi-platform strike network in a simulated operational environment.

The operational demonstration highlighted AGMOSS’s ability to integrate sensor-to-shooter cycles seamlessly. A KAPLAN STA fired UMTAS-GM Block 1 extended-range ATGMs at targets designated by UAVs launched from the 4x4 UGV, while PUSU UGVs were remotely positioned to deliver supporting fire. Control interfaces provided granular options, including single-shot or burst fire for machine guns and dedicated launch commands for missiles. In its updated manned configuration, the KMC-U employs four AESA radars, an electro-optical/infrared gimbal system, and Cirit missiles, a combination recently proven effective in counter-unmanned aerial system roles by intercepting a UAV simulating a Shahed-136/Geran-2 drone.

From a development perspective, AGMOSS represents a convergence of modular design principles and multi-domain integration, reminiscent of loyal wingman concepts in air warfare. By enabling UGVs to function as remote sensors, expendable forward elements, or firepower extensions, Roketsan’s approach addresses both survivability and tactical flexibility. Compared to earlier networked systems, AGMOSS extends beyond simple data-sharing to active command of unmanned assets in real time, reducing operational latency and enabling simultaneous multi-vector attacks. Similar to the evolution seen in Western unmanned teaming programs, such as the U.S. Army’s Robotic Combat Vehicle initiative, AGMOSS is designed for incremental capability upgrades, allowing future payloads like anti-air turrets, UAV carrier platforms, or logistics modules to be seamlessly integrated.

Strategically, this capability strengthens Türkiye’s ability to project modernized, network-enabled ground forces aligned with NATO’s interoperability standards. By combining autonomous mission execution with preserved human oversight, AGMOSS mitigates the ethical and operational risks associated with fully autonomous lethal systems while leveraging the efficiency of automation in contested environments. Geopolitically, it reinforces Türkiye’s position as a key contributor to allied technological innovation in the face of evolving threats, particularly in complex theaters where integrated land-air operations and rapid targeting are decisive. The system’s modularity and scalability also make it adaptable for allied forces seeking to enhance fire support, counter-drone defense, and distributed command structures.

With AGMOSS, Roketsan delivers a battlefield multiplier that extends the reach and resilience of fire support operations, transforms tactical vehicles into intelligent command hubs, and ensures that NATO forces operating alongside Türkiye gain a decisive edge in network-centric combat. The August 10 demonstration signals not just a technological enhancement, but a doctrinal step toward future combat systems where autonomous and manned assets operate in a tightly integrated, operator-led network capable of dominating complex and dynamic conflict zones.
