Fidelis Machines lands U.S. reseller role for Husarion robots

By AI, Created 11:05 AM UTC, May 20, 2026, /AGP/ – Fidelis Machines has become an authorized U.S. reseller and systems integrator for Husarion, giving the Virginia-based defense tech firm the right to sell and integrate the Polish robotics company’s Panther unmanned ground vehicle for research, commercial and government customers. The deal pairs Husarion hardware with Fidelis’ autonomous systems work, including its ASLAN platform under development.

Why it matters: - The agreement gives U.S. customers a new route to buy and deploy Husarion’s Panther unmanned ground vehicle through a domestic integrator. - Fidelis Machines can package Husarion platforms as mission-ready autonomous systems for research, commercial and government use. - The deal expands access to ROS 2-based robotics platforms for defense and public-sector buyers.

What happened: - Fidelis Machines announced a reseller and systems integrator agreement with Husarion, the Polish robotics company behind the Panther unmanned ground vehicle platform. - The authorization covers reselling and integrating Husarion platforms, including the Panther UGV, for U.S. customers. - Fidelis Machines is based in Waynesboro, Virginia. - The company operates a 200-acre proving ground in Central Virginia for autonomous systems development and testing.

The details: - Fidelis Machines is a Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business specializing in autonomous systems and defense technology. - The company’s integration work goes beyond hardware and focuses on field-ready autonomous solutions built on Husarion’s ROS 2-based platforms. - ASLAN, short for Autonomous Sensing, Learning, and Anomaly Notification System, is Fidelis Machines’ flagship system under active development. - ASLAN is built on the Husarion Panther platform. - ASLAN combines autonomous navigation with the SIGMA algorithm. - SIGMA is a signals intelligence-driven anomaly detection capability designed for autonomous perimeter intelligence and ISR missions. - Randy Caldejon, founder and owner of Fidelis Machines, said Husarion builds “one of the most capable and open UGV platforms available today.” - Caldejon said the agreement lets Fidelis Machines bring that platform to U.S. defense and government customers “not just a robot, but a mission-ready system.”

Between the lines: - The partnership signals a push toward integrated robotics offerings rather than standalone vehicles. - Fidelis Machines is positioning itself as the systems layer that turns a platform into a deployable capability. - The focus on defense and government buyers suggests the company sees demand for autonomous perimeter and ISR tools.

What’s next: - Fidelis Machines can now market Husarion platforms in the United States while continuing development of ASLAN. - The 200-acre proving ground gives Fidelis Machines a place to test integrated systems under real-world conditions. - The company is likely to use the Husarion partnership to support future autonomous deployments for U.S. customers.
