Overview
Kapgan is HAVELSAN's larger tracked unmanned ground vehicle, shown at SAHA Expo as a heavier-class complement to the Barkan family. It is armed with a 30x113mm automatic gun rated to an effective range of 2000m against both ground and air targets. The vehicle can cross a 0.5m obstacle and a 1.2m trench, and carries a 4m extendable surveillance mast for elevated observation. Kapgan runs the HAVELSAN Autonomy Package under supervised autonomy, with a 5km radio control range, plus GSM and satellite control link options for extended-range operation.
Full specifications
Performance
Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.
| Max speed Maximum level speed. For aircraft this is at optimal altitude; for ground vehicles, top road speed. Higher means faster response and better kinematic performance. | 25 km/h |
|---|---|
| Endurance Time on station. Critical for UAVs and patrol platforms, higher means longer persistent coverage. On a ground robot, published continuous run time on a full charge or fuel tank. | 6 h |
Firepower
Armament, payload and guidance.
| Main armament Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type. | 30x113mm automatic gun, effective range 2000m against ground and air targets |
|---|
Physical
Dimensions, weight and crew.
| Empty weight Weight without fuel, ammunition or crew. | 1,400 kg |
|---|---|
| Crew Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity. | 0 |
| Cargo payload Maximum cargo the transport can carry. Higher means more lift per sortie. On an unmanned ground vehicle, this is the maximum mission payload the platform carries, including a weapon station. | 600 kg |
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 |
|---|---|
| Autonomy level How much the platform does without an operator, as the manufacturer describes it. Vendors do not use a common standard, so this is a coarse editorial bucket, not a certified rating. | Supervised autonomy |
| 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. | 5 km |
