HDT Global’s Hunter WOLF™, a military unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), has been selected by the U.S. Army for the Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (S-MET) Increment II program.
HDT is one of two proposed solutions selected through the National Advanced Mobility Consortium’s (NAMC) Other Transaction Agreement. The Hunter WOLF will be delivered to the U.S. Army for government test and evaluation.
The Hunter WOLF is a 6×6 wheeled UGV with enhanced transportability and mobility. Characterized by its stealth, ruggedness, ease of operation and maintenance, the Hunter WOLF boasts a robust steel frame, electric motors, and a hybrid electric drive. This delivers power, durability, stealth, efficient power export, and superior mobility.
The UGV meets the demands of the most challenging mission profiles, and is engineered to perform consistently in extreme terrain, weather, and climates.
The Hunter WOLF’s performance capabilities reportedly align with the Army’s operational needs, and with a proven track record and a strong competitive position, HDT is well prepared to proceed in the next phase of the competition. The current contract is valued at $11.55M.
Kevin McSweeney, HDT Global President and CEO, commented, “We are thrilled our Hunter WOLF was selected for the S-MET Increment II award. HDT’s industry leadership in the development of innovative robotic solutions is more than 12 years in the making and the Hunter WOLF proves our commitment to solving complex challenges faced by our warfighters on the modern battlefield.
“The Hunter WOLF is a mature TRL-9 solution, that provides reliable, state-of-the-art technology, reducing the weight burden on warfighters while delivering multi-mission capability and flexibility for commanders and their formations. In many ways, the Hunter WOLF is a robotic Swiss Army knife as it is built to accommodate numerous modular mission packages.”
Tom Van Doren, HDT Global CTO, added, “The HDT Hunter WOLF surpasses all S-MET requirements with an advanced design that is tailored for future growth. Utilizing our expertise in robotic vehicle design and manufacturing, we’ve presented the optimal material solution to execute crucial missions on today’s complex and modern battlefield, ensuring our warfighters have the reliable support required for mission success.”
