The Łukasiewicz-PIAP research institute announced on 5 November 2026 that its HUNTeR and IBIS Transport unmanned ground vehicles will take part in the ALPEX 2026 international exercise in Switzerland.
The exercise will run from 10 to 12 November at the Bure training ground in the Jura region as part of the European EU OPEX 2026 cycle. Organised to support military cooperation between the European Union and Switzerland, the event focuses on testing unmanned aerial and ground systems for urban logistics.
According to Łukasiewicz-PIAP, the Polish vehicles are intended for supply transport, casualty evacuation and reconnaissance missions. The institute has previously taken part in events within the OPEX series.
The PIAP HUNTeR is a wheeled vehicle weighing up to 4 tonnes, measuring 470 centimetres long and 220 centimetres wide. Powered by two electric motors, it reaches top speeds of up to 50 km/h on paved roads and carries eight high-definition cameras alongside lidar sensors. The smaller six-wheeled IBIS platform weighs up to 320 kilograms, measures 135 centimetres long and travels at up to 10 km/h using four day-and-night camera units.
