Overview
The Hançer is a compact, four-flipper tracked combat UGV from the Turkish company Elektroland Defence, carrying an ASELSAN SARP-L remote weapon station in 5.56mm or 7.62mm configuration, with 12.7mm and 40mm automatic grenade launcher variants also cited in some sources. Fielding is reported by a single source and should be treated cautiously pending independent confirmation. Three published spec sets for this system disagree with each other on weight and speed figures, so only the fields all three roughly agree on are published here: a weight in the approximate range of 500 to 650kg and a top speed of roughly 10km/h, both left undescribed as precise single numbers given the divergence. The operator control link is likewise only roughly agreed across sources, cited between about 0.7km and 1.5km; a midpoint figure of 1km is used here as an approximation rather than a precise measurement.

Autonomy & control
How the platform moves, how much it does without an operator, and how far the control link reaches.
| Locomotion How the platform moves: tracked, wheeled or legged. Tracks suit soft ground and heavy payloads, wheels favor road speed and range, legs handle stairs and rubble. Not a ranking, a trade-off. | Tracked |
|---|---|
| Control range Maximum published operator-to-vehicle control-link distance, normally line-of-sight radio. Higher keeps the operator further from the threat. This is NOT the vehicle's driving range. | 1 km |
