Kutta Technologies has launched the Kutta Tactical Controller 2.0 (KTAC 2.0), a next-generation tactical controller for enhanced power, precision, and flexibility.
The newly upgraded device provides critical enhancements to users’ command and control capabilities for uncrewed systems with increased reliability, efficiency, and affordability.
Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern military tactical operations, the KTAC is a common controller that allows users to control multiple types of robotic platforms – including land, sea, and air uncrewed systems – from a single controller.
Kutta’s legacy product, KTAC 1.0 successfully controlled more than 35 different uncrewed systems for both U.S. military and allied partner nations. The KTAC 2.0 expands on those capabilities, offering a universal platform with tethered and untethered (with radio module) configurations to ensure seamless integration with existing ecosystems like Nett Warrior and ATAK-enabled devices.
Weighing under two pounds with an IP-67 rating, KTAC 2.0 is rugged, portable, and built to withstand harsh battlefield conditions. It reduces the physical load on the warfighter by over two pounds compared to traditional solutions, offering a significant advantage in both mobility and endurance during extended missions.
The device’s non-proprietary, open interfaces leverage commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology, reducing costs while maximizing interoperability across smartphones, tablets, and computers.
The KTAC 2.0 supports a wide range of military applications, offering a single controller for diverse robotic platforms. Its compatibility with Kutta’s Unified Ground Control Station (UGCS), a Remote Video Terminal (RVT) software solution, and STANAG 4586 protocols further enhances its ability to plan missions, avoid obstacles, and deliver real-time situational awareness.
Key Features:
- Ergonomic design based on soldier experimentation
- Rugged & watertight design
- Integrates with Nett Warrior
- Designed to accommodate future
- Samsung Tactical Edition phones
- Common control of any air, land, sea uncrewed vehicle
Douglas Limbaugh, Kutta’s COO and executive vice-president, commented, “Kutta Technologies is committed to empowering warfighters with innovative tools that enhance mission success. KTAC 2.0’s modular design and universal control capabilities provide operators with the flexibility to adapt to any mission, ensuring operational superiority in the most challenging environments.”
Matthew Savoca, Kutta’s executive vice president, added, “By leveraging COTS technology and open architectures, KTAC 2.0 delivers a cost-effective, high value solution without compromising performance. This launch marks a significant step forward in supporting defense ministries globally with scalable, mission-critical technology.
“Kutta continues to drive innovation through strategic partnerships and ongoing research to ensure KTAC 2.0 evolves alongside the operational needs of our users. We continue to focus on reducing the warfighter’s burden while increasing mission capability. KTAC 2.0 not only redefines the next generation of tactical control for uncrewed systems, it reflects Kutta’s unwavering commitment to equip military forces with the tools they need to succeed—now and in the future.”
