“I have gained significant knowledge and built up an international network during my seven years as the CHOD of Estonia and as a member of the Military Committee of NATO and EU. My special fields of interest have been development of disruptive and cyber technologies,” said General Riho Terras .
Gen Terras also worked intensively during the Estonian EU presidency in order to launch Europe’s defence technologies development and PESCO.
“In the last 10 years Estonia has been able to establish a forward looking modern defence industry with ground breaking technologies such as Milrem Robotics’ THeMIS unmanned ground vehicle,” Gen Terras added.
Gen Terras will also be leading the Defence capabilities development in EDIDP program Modular Unmanned Ground Systems (MUGS) led by Milrem Robotics.
