Hypercraft and Fortem Technologies Partner to Deliver Counter-UAS Capability on Unmanned Ground Vehicle
Hypercraft has announced the integration of Fortem Technologies' TrueView radar and tactical intercept system into its newly launched Razorback hybrid-electric unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). The collaboration creates a persistent, mobile sensor-to-shooter chain capable of detecting and neutralizing Group 1 and Group 2 drone threats in contested operational environments.
Highlights
- Hypercraft has integrated Fortem Technologies' TrueView radar and tactical intercept system into the Razorback hybrid UGV to create a mobile counter-UAS platform.
- The Razorback UGV achieves a 280-mile operational range while carrying a 2,400-lb payload at speeds up to 60 mph.
- The sensor-to-shooter chain is designed to detect and neutralize Group 1 and Group 2 drone threats in contested environments.
- The partnership reflects a growing industry trend toward equipping unmanned ground vehicles with organic counter-drone capabilities for military and infrastructure protection.
- The 2026 Unmanned Airspace Global Counter-UAS Systems Directory, covering over 1,000 C-UAS products and services, has been released and is updated monthly.
Hypercraft and Fortem Technologies Partner to Deliver Counter-UAS Capability on Unmanned Ground Vehicle
Hypercraft has announced the integration of Fortem Technologies' TrueView radar and tactical intercept system directly into its recently unveiled Razorback hybrid-powered unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), marking a significant step forward in mobile counter-UAS (C-UAS) capability.
Mobile Sensor-to-Shooter Chain
At the core of the partnership is the creation of a persistent, mobile sensor-to-shooter chain designed to detect and neutralize Group 1 and Group 2 drone threats in contested environments. The system is intended to provide ground forces with more flexible, field-deployable counter-drone protection without relying on fixed infrastructure.
Razorback UGV: Key Specifications
The Razorback runs on a diesel-hybrid electric powertrain and offers the following performance characteristics:
- Maximum range: 280 miles (approx. 450 km)
- Payload capacity: 2,400 lbs (approx. 1,088 kg)
- Top speed: 60 mph (approx. 97 km/h)
Notably, the platform maintains its full 280-mile operational range even when carrying a maximum payload of 2,400 lbs, underscoring its endurance potential across demanding mission profiles.
Industry Context
As small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) continue to pose growing threats in modern conflicts, demand for integrating counter-drone systems onto mobile ground platforms has intensified. The Hypercraft–Fortem collaboration represents the industry's broader shift toward unmanned platforms equipped with organic C-UAS capabilities, potentially offering more resilient solutions for both military operations and critical infrastructure protection.
Additional Resource: The 2026 edition of the Unmanned Airspace Global Counter-UAS Systems Directory is now available. The directory is the only continuously updated comprehensive guide to counter-UAS systems worldwide, featuring more than 1,000 counter-drone products and services, including performance details, company sales and partnership information. Updated monthly and segmented into niche sub-sectors such as nets, missiles, interceptor drones, and detectors.
