FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hypercraft Partners with Fortem Technologies to Integrate Radars and Mitigation Systems for All-Domain Airspace Denial
PROVO, UT — June 8, 2026 — Hypercraft, a leader in software-defined propulsion, and Fortem Technologies, the global leader in airspace security, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver advanced, mobile all-domain airspace denial. By integrating Fortem’s TrueView® radar and tactical mitigation systems directly onto Hypercraft’s recently launched Razorback hybrid unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), the collaboration introduces a persistent, mobile “Sensor-to-Shooter” link capable of neutralizing Group 1 and 2 UAS threats in contested environments.
This joint integration addresses a critical vulnerability on the modern battlefield: the C-UAS persistence gap. While traditional counter-drone systems remain anchored to fixed locations or loud, high-thermal internal combustion vehicles, the Hypercraft-Fortem alliance leverages the Razorback’s low-signature, diesel-hybrid mission platform to move advanced radar assets seamlessly to the tactical edge. Backed by Fortem’s cutting-edge airspace intelligence—recently bolstered by a $25M investment from Lockheed Martin—the combined solution aligns perfectly with the Department of Defense’s acceleration toward Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) and “Drones-as-a-Service” (DaaS) operational models
Bridging the Logistical Gap in Air Defense
Traditional C-UAS platforms are often tethered to fixed sites or loud, high-thermal internal combustion vehicles. Razorback breaks this “logistical tether” with a diesel-hybrid electric powertrain that delivers 280 miles of range even at its 2,400 lbs payload capacity.
“The modern battlefield requires more than just sensors; it requires persistent, silent mobility,” said Brian Bowers, CEO at Hypercraft. “Razorback provides 360-degree protection while maintaining a thermal signature of less than 15°C over ambient. We aren’t just moving a sensor; we are deploying a persistent energy node that can stay on-station for weeks in ‘Silent Watch’ mode if the mission requires.”
Key Operational Capabilities:
● Tactical Energy Hub: With 38kW of exportable power, Razorback serves as a mobile microgrid, capable of powering Directed Energy Weapons (DEW), high-power electronic warfare jamming equipment, and advanced ISR sensor suites at the edge.
● Universal RAS-G IOP Integration: Featuring Hypercraft’s universal RAS-G IOP software and drive-by-wire layer, the platform is a DoW-compliant solution that revolutionizes UGV interoperability, allowing ease of integration for platform equipment and any autonomy stack through standard protocols and open API’s.
● Maneuver at Speed: With a top speed of 60 mph (governed), 100% torque availability at zero RPM, and multiple steering modes, Razorback ensures that C-UAS protection keeps pace with rapid-maneuver units.
● VOS Architecture: The vehicle’s Central-Zonal Computing Architecture and Vehicle Operating System (VOS) allow for over-the-air (OTA) updates, extending service life and function as C2 and AI requirements evolve.
Future-Proofing Airspace Security
By aligning with MOSA standards and providing “Right to Maintain” / “Right to Develop” access to end-users, Hypercraft ensures that Razorback can adapt to the rapidly changing UAS threat landscape without costly hardware redesigns. It is the first platform to effectively bridge the gap between heavy-payload logistics and the stealth requirements of modern warfare.
