HIPPO HAWC and RAPTOR

The HIPPO HAWC (Hybrid Amphibious Wheeled Carrier) and HIPPO RAPTOR are multi-purpose mobility platforms designed to reduce burden on, and reduce risk for, the dismounted soldier/light forces. Here’s how:

  • PAYLOAD.
    Total load capacity of 1000 kg allows HAWC and RAPTOR to support dismounted operations by reducing the burden on the soldier, enabling the soldier to shoot, move and communicate faster. A modular cargo retention system allows the platforms to be rapidly reconfigured for a variety of missions including tactical load carriage, tactical resupply, CASEVAC, weapon carriage (including remote weapon stations), surveillance, engineering, communications, fire & rescue. HAWC and RAPTOR can also tow 2000 kg additional load.
  • MOBILITY.
    Internally transportable by support helicopter or delivered by parachute, the HAWC and RAPTOR are ideally suited to supporting airborne and airmobile operations. The electric drive provides instant torque for extreme terrain accessibility; perfect for supporting jungle and mountain operations. When operating on battery power both platforms have extremely low acoustic and thermal signatures; covert insertion of snipers or intimate load carriage support for advancing troops. An integrated diesel generator provides range (over 150km) and endurance.
  • EXPORTABLE POWER.
    HAWC and RAPTOR can export 5 kW of electrical power for battery charging, sensors, radios, weapons, etc. Lithium-ion batteries provide extended silent watch.
  • ROBOTICS and AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS (RAS).
    The HAWC is available in both manned and optionally manned/autonomous configurations, while the RAPTOR is unmanned/autonomous only, from basic remote control to full autonomous navigation. RAS offers more efficient use of manpower and the ability to remove a soldier from harm’s way (e.g., sending an unmanned HAWC or RAPTOR to deliver tactical resupply under fire).
