Slope, mud and dry-sand mobility sessions.
Not a single fixed vehicle — a tracked ground platform configured per mission. Built in-house from the chassis up. Field mobility validated in 2025 (TRL 5); TRL 6 field campaign under way in 2026.
Mobility campaign across five surface types — in every clip the platform carries a 16 kg test load (two 8 kg blocks). Unedited field footage; full demo reel available on request.
Slope, mud and dry-sand mobility sessions.
Traction testing on loose sand.
Stair-climbing cycles.
Structured TRL 6 field campaign under way in a relevant environment, focused on maximum-load runs on flat terrain and slopes. Amphibious (buoyancy) trials follow as a separate later stage. Results will be published as they are confirmed.
The platform is an open mobility base. Payload bay, communications stack and control electronics are swappable modules selected per role — the same chassis carries a sensor set, a relay node or a cargo deck without redesign. An amphibious (buoyant) variant is in development — not yet field-tested; water trials follow as a later stage of the 2026 campaign.
Chassis, tracked mobility system and drivetrain mechanics are designed and manufactured from scratch, with rapid-manufactured track and drivetrain components. Proven COTS drive components — motors, motor controllers, power elements — are integrated into an in-house electronics and control architecture. No dependency on a donor vehicle. Polymer hull, camouflage-painted to the operating terrain — corrosion-free, no heavy tooling, production scales with printers, field-repairable.
Modular architecture accepts third-party RX/TX and control systems — no vendor lock-in. Alternatively, the platform runs the in-house encrypted FHSS control link with configurable channel plans.
The radio and payload stack is socketed, not soldered into the design: control receiver (RX), video transmitter (VTx), telemetry and payload interface boards are swappable modules — replaced per mission or upgraded without touching the platform. An in-house embedded computer-vision module (OpenCV, bench-validated) can be integrated — its functions are scoped to the customer's mission requirements, and other sensor payloads are fitted the same way.
Beyond the base platform: new UGV variants engineered to customer requirements — different size, payload class or chassis — or upgrade and integration of the customer's existing ground platforms: mobility, control and secure communications as an engineering service.
