Kutta Technologies Launches KTAC 2.0
In a significant advancement for uncrewed systems, Kutta Technologies, LLC has officially unveiled its upgraded tactical controller, the KTAC 2.0. Set to enhance the command and control capabilities across various military applications, this innovative device promises improved flexibility, reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
Douglas Limbaugh, Kutta's Chief Operations Officer, emphasized the commitment to equipping military personnel with cutting-edge tools essential for mission success.
The KTAC 2.0 is designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern tactical operations. This common controller allows users to manage multiple types of robotic platforms—land, sea, and air—all from a compact device that fits comfortably in the user's hand. With this upgrade, the KTAC now supports more than 35 different uncrewed systems previously utilized by the U.S. Army and allied nations, enhancing operational capabilities significantly.
The new KTAC 2.0 has two configurations: anchored and non-anchored (with a radio module), facilitating seamless integration with current ecosystems such as Nett Warrior and ATAK-compatible devices. Weighing under one kilogram, the KTAC 2.0’s IP-67 rating makes it robust and portable, able to withstand the harshest battlefield conditions. This remarkable weight reduction compared to traditional solutions grants soldiers significant advantages in terms of mobility and endurance during prolonged missions.
"This upgrade embodies our dedication to operational excellence in the field," Matthew Savoca, Executive Vice President at Kutta, commented. By utilizing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technology and maintaining open architecture, the KTAC 2.0 presents a cost-effective yet highly capable solution for military needs without compromising on performance.
The KTAC 2.0’s compatibility extends across numerous military applications, allowing for versatile control over diverse robotic platforms. Its integration with Kutta's Unified Ground Control Station software and adherence to STANAG 4586 protocols further boost its efficacy in mission planning, obstacle avoidance, and real-time situational awareness.
Highlighting Kutta's focus on innovation, Savoca reassured that continuous collaboration and research would propel the KTAC 2.0's evolution alongside operational needs. “We aim to relieve the burden on soldiers while augmenting mission capabilities. This launch not only redefines tactical control for unmanned systems but also reflects our unwavering commitment to empowering military forces with essential tools for success,” he stated.
This significant rollout demonstrates Kutta Technologies' role as a leader in research, development, and manufacturing of high-tech solutions, specializing in C3 systems for Department of Defense and commercial markets. Kutta has consistently provided scalable, mission-ready technologies that enhance operational effectiveness across modern warfare domains.
