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.

Performance specifications
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
Stronger than 42% of UGVs
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
Stronger than 42% of UGVs

Firepower

Armament, payload and guidance.

Firepower specifications
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.

Physical specifications
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
Stronger than 24% of UGVs

Autonomy & control

How the platform moves, how much it does without an operator, and how far the control link reaches.

Autonomy & control specifications
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
Stronger than 80% of UGVs
