About
About AZAK
AZAK develops vehicle platforms around self-contained powered wheel modules that integrate the motor, battery, steering, braking and control electronics. Each module can be attached to a structural frame through a standardised interface, allowing vehicle size, wheel count and load configuration to be altered without redesigning a complete drivetrain. Individual wheels can also be removed and exchanged in the field.
The S26 applies this architecture to an unmanned ground platform for cargo movement, casualty evacuation and tactical support. Its modular deck can accept mission equipment, autonomy sensors and customer payloads, while the distributed propulsion system limits dependence on a central engine or transmission. AZAK supplies mobility hardware and engineering support for defence, emergency-response and autonomous-system programmes.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-09-03 - Contract Award - AZAK signs U.S. Army OTA after soldier-led UGV evaluation
G-TEAD uses soldier-led evaluation and accelerated acquisition to move selected technologies toward fielded units. AZAK says it is among the first technologies selected directly through this pathway. The evaluated robot uses AZAK's distributed wheel-centric mobility architecture for tactical ground movement.
