Contested logistics isn’t a future problem. It’s already here.
In any modern high-intensity conflict, the supply chain is one of the first things that breaks. We’ve seen it time and again: convoys get targeted, primary routes get cut off, and frontline units become isolated.
Currently, our model relies on human operators risking their lives just to move fuel, power, and equipment a few miles forward. As the battlefield becomes more distributed and lethal, that model simply doesn’t scale anymore.
Last week, we launched Razorback at Hypercraft—an autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) purpose-built for contested environments. It is designed to move heavy payloads and deliver critical power without putting people in the loop.
The Reality of Forward Sustainment
The “Last Mile” of logistics is the most dangerous. Razorback was engineered to bridge that gap by acting as a force multiplier that doesn’t require a driver’s seat.
Why Razorback Matters in Practice:
Heavy-Lift Autonomy: It carries ~2,400 lbs over long distances and rugged terrain without a human driver, allowing personnel to focus on the mission, not the mule.
Mobile Power Grid: It exports 38 kW of power. This is a game-changer for forward-deployed units, providing enough energy to run drone swarms, communication arrays, or advanced electronic warfare systems.
Mission-First Architecture: The platform is entirely modular. This means the mission set can change, from cargo resupply to medevac, without needing to replace the entire platform.
Combat Redundancy: Logistics vehicles can’t afford to be fragile. Razorback is built with internal redundancies so it can sustain damage and keep moving toward its objective.
A Shift in the Paradigm: Vehicles as Systems
We are witnessing a fundamental shift in defense technology. Logistics platforms are no longer just “trucks” or “carriers.” They are evolving into integrated Power + Mobility + Autonomy systems.
When a vehicle can carry its own weight in supplies and simultaneously act as a mobile power station for a command center, it changes the entire math of forward operations. It reduces the logistical “tether” to the rear and allows tactical units to stay agile, silent, and lethal for longer.
Redefining the Frontline
The goal of Razorback isn’t just to move boxes; it’s to sustain operations in environments where traditional logistics would fail. By automating the most dangerous links in the supply chain, we aren’t just improving efficiency—we are saving lives.
