Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV)
Discover cutting-edge solutions from leading global suppliers
HDT Robotics has delivered Hunter WOLF Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) to the U.S. Army 3rd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division at Fort Polk, Louisiana.
The delivery is a primary component of the Army’s Ground Optionally Autonomous Transport (GOAT) program and supports a week-long Operator New Equipment Training (OPNET) event. During this period, HDT will train soldiers to operate, employ, and sustain the platform while demonstrating a variety of modular mission payload configurations and operational roles.
Developed within HDT’s Advanced Battle Lab, the Hunter WOLF is a multi-mission robotic platform engineered to reduce soldier workload and extend operational duration. By automating heavy tasks, the vehicle is intended to keep personnel in the field longer with less fatigue and at safer distances from potential threats. The platform is highly versatile, capable of serving as a logistics mover, a casualty evacuation system, a communications hub, or an Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform.
Tom Van Doren, President, Robotics Sector at HDT, said, “We’re focused on giving soldiers a capability that helps them do their job while reducing their exposure to risk. The Hunter WOLF has gone through rigorous testing, is battlefield tested, and ready now.”
To ensure long-term viability and ease of use in theater, the vehicle utilizes commercially available components that simplify field maintenance. The current training cycle provides soldiers with direct experience in both operating and maintaining the system, including the use of autonomy kits and casualty evacuation protocols. Moving forward, HDT will also support the Army’s Transformation in Contact (TiC) activities to further demonstrate the WOLF’s autonomous capabilities in active environments.
