KNDS and S2M's REFURBOT show up at France's National Infantry Days as an "XXL robotic mule" for the Foreign Legion's 2nd REI, according to FOB

REFURBOT uses the TOXO kit to turn retired armored vehicles into Unmanned Ground Vehicles, and was first shown in June 2026 as a 25mm-armed combat robot

No payload, price, autonomy level, or contract has been published, and the vehicle remains a prototype for now
