Strength, speed or following support. Explore the focus of each vehicle in our development programme.
Larger and more robust. A modular platform on broad 18 × 8-inch terrain wheels, designed for loads up to 1,000 kg.
Light and fast. A 140 × 110 cm modular platform on 20 × 4-inch fatbike wheels, with a payload up to 150 kg.
Following support on the same compact footprint: 140 × 110 cm, 20 × 4-inch fatbike wheels and a payload up to 150 kg.
Concept equipment shown: compact camera, lidar and two antennas. Final equipment depends on the vehicle configuration.
The platform for substantial loads: up to 1,000 kg of combined module and cargo mass. Four-wheel drive and a larger, robust frame make Creeper Mule the heavy member of the family. Autonomous operation is in development.
Consolidate larger loads on one modular platform.Carry multiple crates of food, water, clothing and other supplies in one load.
Move tool chests, spare parts, cable reels and heavier installation equipment.
Support larger battery packs, portable power equipment or a communications module.
Provide a base for a purpose-built stretcher module with room for medical equipment.
A light, mobile platform of 140 × 110 cm, with four-wheel drive and a payload up to 150 kg. Fast Mule is being developed for autonomous transport when a compact vehicle and smaller, targeted loads fit the task.
Deliver what is needed, in a compact load.Deliver food, water, clothing and personal equipment to a small team.
Transport first-aid kits, medicines and dressings without using a heavy cargo platform.
Bring replacement batteries, small spare parts and repair kits to where they are needed.
Carry a lightweight radio relay or communications module within the available payload.
The 140 × 110 cm companion platform: four-wheel drive, up to 150 kg and two operating modes. Let Follow Mule follow the operator, or use the remote control to position and move it directly.
Keep equipment with the team and off their backs.Carry packs, drinking water and shared equipment while moving with a dismounted team.
Keep medical bags, dressings and rescue equipment close to the person providing care.
Support maintenance or engineering teams with tools, parts, batteries and cable reels.
Use remote control to move supplies between nearby positions or send the vehicle ahead while the operator assesses the route.
Application concepts are subject to module development and testing. Module mass counts towards payload; terrain, load and configuration determine practical performance.
All three share the same layout: electronics at the front, batteries at the rear and space for interchangeable modules in the middle.
Four-wheel drive on every model. No suspension. A low centre of gravity between the wheels. A straightforward, low-cost build with a disposable design philosophy.
Wheel sizes are diameter × width. Creeper Mule uses wider but smaller-diameter wheels: 18 × 8 inches (45.7 × 20.3 cm), compared with the slimmer 20 × 4-inch (50.8 × 10.2 cm) wheels on Fast Mule and Follow Mule.
A family of complementary concepts, with a clear priority for each prototype.

Prototype specifications. Payload figures are design capacities; final performance depends on the configuration and testing.
Carrying equipment takes energy. Military Solutions is developing unmanned logistics vehicles to help reduce that burden.
In development · Three prototypesGive each prototype a distinct role, from heavier loads to movement alongside the operator.
Evaluate handling, usability and performance through practical trials.
Use test results and operator feedback to guide the next stage of development.
With a Ukrainian wife and family living in Kyiv, Hans Luijkx began looking for a practical way to help. The challenge of the final kilometres of supply became the starting point for Military Solutions.
