European Defense Mobility Platform

The workhorse
replacing truck drivers
on the battlefield.

5QT builds hybrid-electric unmanned ground vehicles for European armed forces. Modular. Silent. Unlimited range. Powered by 4QT drivetrains — proven in the heaviest industries on earth.

“We look for technologically interesting manufacturers with whom we conclude framework agreements. This allows us to call up the latest technology at a later date.” — LTG Thomas Süssli, Former Chief of the Swiss Armed Forces

Not a render.
It drives itself.

CERBERUS under autonomous control during live field trials — navigating to a waypoint and halting on target with no operator and no remote driver. This is what autonomy ready looks like in the field.

Live — Fully Autonomous

It drives itself to the objective.

No operator. No remote driver. CERBERUS navigates to the waypoint and halts on target — under its own control, on the 4QT drive-by-wire powertrain.

Field Trials

Open-Terrain Operation

Live conditions at a Swiss airfield. Real ground, real weather, real distances.

Field Trials

Endurance Run

Sustained operation on hybrid-electric power — range that outlasts the mission.

Articulated Steering

Kingpin Turn Radius

Full articulation at the central hinge. No conventional steering rack.

01 — Platform

CERBERUS UGV

A multi-role unmanned ground vehicle built on the same hybrid-electric architecture that powers construction machinery across three continents. One platform. Reconfigure in the field.

Autonomy StackAuterion Skynode
Drivetrain4QT iREX Hybrid-Electric

Silent Mode

Full-electric silent running for approach and resupply. Near-zero thermal signature at idle. Switch to hybrid only when range demands it.

No Rare Earths

Permanent-magnet-free switched reluctance machine. Zero dependency on Chinese rare-earth supply chains. European-sourced, European-manufactured.

80 kW Power Export

Power drone launchers, radar, EW, or field hospitals directly from the vehicle. One CERBERUS replaces a dedicated generator truck.

01b — Configurations

One platform.
Reconfigure the mission.

The same autonomy-ready chassis and 4QT hybrid-electric drivetrain, re-bodied for the task. Swap the load, not the vehicle.

02 — Capabilities

One platform,
four NATO-aligned roles

Swap the payload, not the vehicle. CERBERUS is designed around the capability gaps in the EU Defence Readiness Roadmap 2030.

Contested Logistics

A palletized load on the flatbed, under camouflage netting — the real configuration, photographed in trials. Up to 4.6 tonnes delivered autonomously to forward positions. Replaces truck drivers on the most exposed tactical mile.

Mobile SHORAD · Counter-UAS

European Drone Defence

Mobile short-range air defence at the platoon level. Integrated kinetic interceptors and C2 systems detect, track, and neutralise Class I–III UAS threats.

Route Clearance · EOD

Remote Mine Action

Unmanned explosive ordnance disposal with multi-sensor fusion. Operators command from safe distance via satellite. Ground-penetrating radar and visual detection for route and area clearance.

CERBERUS UGV — multi-role platform
Persistent ISR · Force Protection

Critical Infrastructure Shield

Autonomous patrol and persistent surveillance for bases, borders, and energy infrastructure. 360° sensor coverage with drone launch capability. Acoustic stealth at the perimeter.

Security & Resilience · Dual-Use

Civil Protection & Disaster Relief

The same autonomous platform serves fire services, disaster response, and critical-supply missions in the homeland — moving heavy loads into hazardous zones without putting crews at risk. Already trialled alongside Swiss emergency services.
