Czech company LPP Holding has developed the HORNET, a lightweight, fully autonomous ground drone designed to support military missions.
It is ideal for tasks such as transporting ammunition, evacuating the wounded, reconnaissance, and emergency response, adapting to different battlefield roles.
The HORNET is equipped with an autonomous navigation system that allows it to operate in unknown environments, even without a GPS signal. It uses sensors like LiDAR, IMU, and environment segmentation to map terrain, calculate routes, and avoid obstacles in real time. The drone also offers various navigation modes, including follow mode, return to base, and pre-defined waypoint routes.
LPP Holding emphasized that the drone makes decisions independently, without the need for direct human control. The company has already tested other drones in Ukraine, indicating that the HORNET could be integrated into Ukrainian Defense Forces operations in the future. Its standout feature is the ability to operate even under strong electronic interference.
