US engineering and defence design company HDT Global has displayed an armed “WOLF-X” unmanned ground vehicle at the 15th Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering Technology Symposium in the United States.
The up-gunned Army Robotic Combat Vehicle solution developed from HDT Global’s Hunter WOLF load-carrying robotic vehicle was shown at the expo earlier this month in Detroit, USA.
HDT Global has previously identified the Hunter WOLF compact diesel-electric 6X6 skid-steer design as a viable solution for carrying heavy loads (up to approximately 2,200 pounds) across difficult, steep or dense terrain, housing a 30mm autocannon for light infantry support or providing forestry and agricultural applications.
Of particular note, the system on display at the expo features an EOS Defense Systems’ 30mm R800 heavy-duty remote weapon station.
GVSETS brings together approximately 1,800 government, academia, and industry attendees to network and share technical research on enhancing warfighter capabilities. The event is organised by the National Defense Industrial Association in coordination with the Engineering Society of Detroit.
