The company said it will train soldiers on the use of multiple modular payload configurations and operational roles during the exercise. HDT Robotics also plans to demonstrate the vehicle’s autonomy capabilities and support the Army’s Transformation in Contact activities.
The Hunter WOLF was developed through HDT’s Advanced Battle Lab and is designed as a multi-mission robotic ground platform intended to reduce soldier workload and extend operational endurance. According to the company, the vehicle can operate as a communications platform, logistics carrier, casualty evacuation system or intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance asset.
HDT said the platform uses commercially available components intended to simplify field maintenance and improve operational sustainability. The company added that the system is designed to reduce personnel fatigue while allowing troops to operate at safer distances from potential threats.
Tom Van Doren, president of HDT’s Robotics Sector, 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,” Van Doren added.
The training program will provide soldiers with hands-on experience operating and maintaining the platform, including demonstrations involving casualty evacuation and autonomous operation kits. HDT said the event is intended to familiarize Army personnel with the use of robotic systems across different operational scenarios.
According to the company, the Hunter WOLF is part of a broader effort to expand the military use of rugged and modular robotic systems capable of operating in hazardous environments. HDT stated that its robotic platforms are designed to support missions in remote, contaminated and high-risk conditions while reducing risks to personnel.
