Unmanned Systems in the Service of Security
Multi-role unmanned systems for dual-use (civilian and military) environments that reduce human input in critical and dangerous situations, thereby minimising risk of life.
The KATICA project aims to elevate Hungarian UGV development to a new level
Unmanned technologies have already become a game changer and critical force multiplier in warfare.
With this in perspective, as a pioneer in Hungary, HT Division has launched the Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) project – KATICA to add this capability to defence forces and law enforcement units.
The aim of the project is to create a vehicle made in Hungary 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 almost all the relevant payloads, including weapon stations, rocket or missile systems, and drones as well.
HT Division does not focus on a single type of solution. The company can provide users with customized platforms of different designs in terms of both the drivetrain (wheeled, tracked or hybrid) and the power unit (diesel, electric or hybrid), depending on the terrain and area in which the end user will operate. This enables HT Division to easily adapt to multiple configuration requests from a single end user.
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.
The company is working intensively on drones for various missions.
For the civilian purposes of UAVs and UGVs, such as agricultural, hazardous response and meteorological applications, HT Division has already taken part in R&D studies and projects with several engineering companies and academic bodies.
