Unmanned Systems

Unmanned technologies have already become a game changer and critical force multiplier in warfare.

With this in perspective, HT Division has launched the Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) project to add this capability to the HUNGARIAN DEFENCE FORCES.The aim of the project is to create a Hungarian vehicle that is highly competitive with its competitors and can be used for a variety of tasks such as cargo transport or towing, close protection and armed reconnaissance at all hours of the day and night. It is designed to be equipped with weapon stations, rocket or missile systems and drones.

THE FIRST PROTOTYPE HAS ALREADY BEEN PRESENTED TO THE DECISION MAKERS. IT IS A 6X6 DIESEL-ENGINED MULTI-ROLE UGV KNOWN AS KATICA.

WORK ON THE SECOND PROTOTYPE, WHICH WILL BE TRACKED AND HAVE A HYBRID ENGINE, HAS BEGUN AS A RESULT OF THE VALUABLE FEEDBACK RECEIVED ON THE FIRST PROTOTYPE.

IN ADDITION TO UGVS, HT DIVISION IS WORKING WITH A NUMBER OF COMPANIES ON THE CONCEPT OF MILITARY-TYPE UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES (UAVS). THE COMPANY INTRODUCED AN UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEM (UAS) TO HDF DURING A THREE-WEEK PROGRAMME AT THE END OF 2021 AND SUCCESSFULLY DEMONSTRATED THE VERSATILE CAPABILITIES OF A MALE TYPE UAV WITH A DYNAMIC DISPLAY. HDF IS CURRENTLY WORKING TO CLARIFY ITS NEEDS AND SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS.

FOR THE CIVILIAN PURPOSE OF UAVS AND UGVS, SUCH AS AGRICULTURAL AND METEOROLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, HT DIVISION HAS ALREADY STARTED DISCUSSIONS ON R&D STUDIES WITH SEVERAL HUNGARIAN ENGINEERING COMPANIES.
