According to the company, the delivery supports a week-long Operator New Equipment Training event where soldiers will receive hands-on instruction operating, maintaining and deploying the robotic platform across multiple mission configurations.
Reducing the physical burden on soldiers while increasing operational flexibility remains central to HDT’s mission,” noted Tom Van Doren, president of HDT’s robotics sector. “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.”
The Hunter WOLF is a modular unmanned ground vehicle developed through its Advanced Battle Lab and designed to reduce soldier workload and extend operational endurance in the field. According to HDT, the platform can be configured for logistics transport, casualty evacuation, communications support and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
As part of the training exercise, HDT said soldiers will also work with autonomy kits and casualty evacuation systems while the company demonstrates autonomous navigation and operational capabilities tied to the Army’s broader Transformation in Contact modernization efforts.
