• 2026-10-06 - Contract Award - BLADE selected for Army Infantry Last Tactical Mile initiative with Hunter WOLF

  The submitted Hunter WOLF is a six-wheel diesel-electric hybrid designed for light and dismounted infantry formations. BLADE rates payload capacity at 2,800 lb and describes the vehicle as production-ready at TRL 9. Configurable payloads support different missions, and the vehicle can export power to external equipment.

• 2026-08-17 - Demonstration - BLADE schedules Hunter WOLF evaluation with 82nd Airborne

  The UGV will be configured for autonomous logistics, casualty evacuation, communications and mobile power. The evaluation configuration includes two AN/VRC-158 radios, five Universal Battery Chargers, extended cargo rails and 15 kW power export. Hunter WOLF can carry up to 2,800 lb, and the trial follows Army evaluations with the 10th Mountain Division and 101st Airborne Division.

• 2026-07-23 - Contract Award - BLADE selected for U.S. Army Project Sustainment autonomous-logistics programme

  BLADE was selected as one of five industry partners for the U.S. Army's NAMC-led Project Sustainment programme for contested supply distribution. The proposed Dire WOLF is a six-wheel diesel-electric hybrid UGV designed to carry thousands of pounds, pivot steer and climb vertical two-foot steps. The platform combines non-pneumatic Michelin Tweels with onboard energy storage and exportable power; BLADE is working with the Army, NAMC, Michelin and Carnegie Robotics.

• 2026-05-04 - Deployment - Hunter WOLF enters 10th Mountain Division field training

  Soldiers operated and evaluated Hunter WOLF across system operation, mission integration and sustainment tasks. Field configurations covered tactical radios, battery charging, water purification, CASEVAC, 15 kW exportable power and extended cargo rails. The exercise was the second Hunter WOLF event with the Army within a month and focused on direct feedback from a light-infantry unit.
