HDT Global designs and manufactures deployable systems and equipment for defense and industrial operations in extreme environments. Founded in 1937, the company operates from headquarters in Solon, Ohio, with additional facilities across the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Core products include the Hunter WOLF uncrewed ground vehicle - developed for the U.S. Army's Squad Mission Equipment Transport program with hybrid electric drivetrain and modular open architecture - along with robotics systems currently deployed by U.S. military units and allied forces worldwide.
The company's technical scope spans integrated shelter systems, power generation, environmental control (heating, ventilation, air filtration), command and control systems, CBRN protection equipment, and tactical water purification. Robotics and UGV platforms feature hybrid-electric propulsion and modular architectures designed for field deployment. These systems address hardware-software integration challenges inherent to remote operations, autonomous mobility, and integrated logistics in austere conditions.
Beyond military applications, HDT Global serves industrial customers in deep-shaft mining, paper and pulp manufacturing, and steelmaking operations, applying similar engineering principles - thermal management, filtration, power delivery, and equipment portability - to non-combat extreme-environment problems. The company's product portfolio reflects decades of field experience across both defense and industrial sectors where system reliability, modularity, and environmental resilience are non-negotiable requirements.
