The U.S. Army will evaluate BLADE's Hunter WOLF unmanned ground vehicle with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Polk on August 20, 2026.

U.S. Army is expanding its evaluation of the Hunter WOLF unmanned ground vehicle through a Transition in Contact event with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Polk, Louisiana, on August 20, 2026, BLADE announced in a press release.

The vehicle is made by HDT Robotics, LLC, operating as BLADE. Hunter WOLF is a robotic ground vehicle designed for logistics and casualty evacuation missions, with payload capacity of up to 2,800 pounds.

The evaluation will give soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division practical experience with the system. The vehicle is intended to carry equipment, supplies, and personnel during field operations.

BLADE said the event follows earlier Hunter WOLF training and evaluation activities with the 3rd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, and the 101st Airborne Division.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
