ARX Robotics unveils Hector
ARX Robotics unveils Hector: an optionally manned, software-defined UGV to raise speed and standoff
Hector
Closing Europe’s mass and tempo gap
European forces lack a medium-class UGV that can keep up with combat vehicles and plug into existing command structures without friction. Hector closes this gap. It is a mass-producible, connected ground system that extends standoff, protects crews and accelerates decision cycles on the modern battlefield.
Hector is a wheeled, medium-class unmanned ground vehicle that redefines the domain land through a new capability. Optionally manned, software-defined and built on Mithra OS, it gives European land forces speed, range and autonomy while keeping soldiers in control and out of direct fire.
Hector modular systems
Hector is engineered as a battlefield capability, not a one-off vehicle program.
A modular chassis, open payload interfaces and Mithra OS create a common ground node that can carry sensors, logistic loads and effectors across mission sets while staying interoperable with European systems and standards.
It is built for industrial-scale deployment and rapid fielding.
Scenarios
From single platform to scalable ground combat asset
Hector can be driven by a crew to the edge of the mission area, then switched to teleoperation or supervised autonomy. What used to be a logistics burden becomes a mobility advantage. Crews use Hector to push supplies, sensors or effectors forward, then pull back while the platform continues the mission under human-in-the-loop control.
Software-defined from day one
Hector runs ARX Robotics Mithra OS on an onboard compute module, turning the platform into a software-defined ground system. Autonomy, convoy behavior and fleet management live in software, not hardware lock-ins.
Over-the-air updates allow new capabilities, payload integrations and mission apps to be rolled out across an entire fleet in days instead of years.
Supervised autonomy
Connected operations
Scalable modernization
One platform, many roles.

Convoy & platooning
Combustion reach or electric stealth
Hector offers two mission-ready powertrain configurations - combustion and fully electric - built on a shared chassis and software stack.
This gives forces the flexibility to select speed, range, or stealth based on mission demands rather than being locked into a single platform type.
Mission-tailored mobility
Same chassis, same training
Long-range or low-signature ops
Fast refuel or simple edge charging
Flexible across roles and terrain
One Platform, Many Capabilities - Built for Real Missions
Hector gives European land forces what they currently lack: a ground platform that keeps up with combat units, expands standoff, and removes soldiers from unnecessary risk.
Its modular design and software foundation turn one platform into many roles, allowing armies to field reconnaissance, logistics support, effectors or engineering capability from a single, scalable fleet. Crews can push Hector forward, hand over control, and stay out of direct fire while the mission continues.
Across a formation, Hector helps units decide faster, operate farther and sustain longer. Mission-tailored power options - fast and long-range, or silent and low-signature - ensure the platform always fits the task, not the other way around. And throughout every mode, it follows one rule: machines absorb the danger, humans stay in command.
