The Micro Tactical Ground Robot (MTGR) platform is a unique and lightweight all-terrain tactical robot designed to offer outstanding agility both indoors and outdoors. Its primary purpose is to assist military, law enforcement, and public safety agencies in various conflict situations.
The main modes of operation for micro tactical ground robots include tethered, tele-operated, semi-autonomous, and autonomous. Tethered operation involves a wire (cable) connecting the robot to enable quick data or power transfer. The platforms can be airborne, land-based, or naval and find applications in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, law enforcement, explosive ordnance disposal, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (CBRNE), hazardous material (HAZMAT), and other scenarios.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the micro tactical ground robot market by increasing the cost of imported sensors, electronic components, communication modules, and precision mechanical parts. Land based platforms and semi autonomous and autonomous operation segments are most affected, particularly in North America and Europe due to reliance on global electronics supply chains. Defense, law enforcement, and public safety agencies face higher acquisition costs and longer procurement cycles. However, tariffs are encouraging domestic manufacturing, localized sourcing, and innovation in modular robot design, supporting long term supply chain resilience.
The micro tactical ground robot market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides micro tactical ground robot market statistics, including micro tactical ground robot industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a micro tactical ground robot market share, detailed micro tactical ground robot market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the micro tactical ground robot industry. This micro tactical ground robot market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The micro tactical ground robot market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.68 billion in 2025 to $6.43 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to military modernization programs, growth in asymmetric warfare scenarios, increased use of robotics in bomb disposal, rising urban security threats, adoption of unmanned systems in defense forces.
The micro tactical ground robot market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.4 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in autonomous navigation, increasing defense and homeland security budgets, growing demand for force protection technologies, expansion of smart battlefield initiatives, rising use of robots in disaster response operations. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of lightweight tactical robots in urban operations, growing demand for all terrain mobility in compact ground robots, rising adoption of remote operated systems for high risk missions, expansion of multi mission capabilities in micro ground robots, increasing focus on enhanced durability for harsh operational environments.
An increase in defense expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the micro tactical ground robot market going forward. Defense budgets allocate federal funds for personnel, training, medical expenses, and the maintenance and acquisition of weapons and equipment. Higher defense spending often translates into increased investment in military technologies, such as micro tactical ground robots, boosting demand for these systems. For example, in April 2025, the International Peace Bureau, a Germany-based peace and disarmament organization, reported that global military spending reached $2.7 billion, reflecting a 9.4% increase in 2024 compared with the previous year. Therefore, rising defense expenditure is fueling the growth of the micro tactical ground robot market.
The rise in terrorism is also expected to support the growth of the micro tactical ground robot market. Terrorism is defined as violent and unlawful activity aimed at using intimidation, coercion, or fear to achieve ideological, political, religious, or social objectives. Increasing terrorist threats drive demand for advanced technologies, with micro tactical ground robots providing critical support for enhancing security, protecting lives, and countering evolving threats. For instance, in 2023, Vision of Humanity, an Australia-based NGO, reported that the US accounted for 76% of terrorism-related deaths among Western democracies, despite a 15-year low in incident rates. Therefore, rising terrorism is contributing to market growth for micro tactical ground robots.
In November 2025, Ondas, a US-based provider of wireless networking solutions and IoT communications technology, acquired Roboteam for $80 million. This acquisition enables Ondas to expand its capabilities in advanced robotics and unmanned systems, enhancing its solutions portfolio for defense and commercial applications. Roboteam is an Israel-based provider of robotic systems, autonomous platforms, and unmanned ground vehicle technologies.
