Binéfar, an Aragonese town of just over 10,000 inhabitants, located between Huesca and Lérida in northeastern Spain, is home to the largest military robotics plant in the country. This town in the Alto Aragon region designs and manufactures ground robots that are now used in war scenarios, explosive ordnance disposal operations and logistical support missions in more than 20 countries.
