About T4 Robotics
LADI-Hornet is designed around a human-authorized engagement chain: detect, track, approve, intercept and neutralize. T4 says the vertical-launch interceptor will use an AI command stack, modified propulsion and modular payloads, with a stated range above 33 km; target lock, guidance and impact after approval remain development objectives.
Branded Legacy acquired a workshop in Kharkiv for prototype assembly, engineering, systems integration, maintenance and test preparation while operating under the T4 Robotics brand during its legal name-change process. T4 describes the company as pre-prototype. Its later ground-robotics programme covers Harvestman, Scarab and Mantis concepts, while core UGV components are already in development and field testing.
