Polish uncrewed ground vehicles put through field trials in Switzerland

Poland’s Łukasiewicz–PIAP institute sent its HUNTeR and IBIS TRANSPORT ground robots to ALPEX 2026, a field experiment run by the European Defence Agency and Swiss Armed Forces at Bure, Switzerland. The trials cover tactical logistics, casualty evacuation, reconnaissance and the ability of robots from different countries to operate together. HUNTeR is a six-wheeled hybrid vehicle developed with Poland’s AREX that can move on electric power alone for quieter operation. The institute says its IBIS TRANSPORT is designed to move supplies and equipment, with a payload capacity of up to 250 kilograms.
