The PR-Wolfhound: Heavy-Duty Land Drone for Close-Quarters Security

Introduction

When threats penetrate static defenses or require robust, on-the-ground intervention, the PR-Wolfhound steps in. As a quadruped land drone engineered for heavy-duty engagement, barrier deployment, and rapid medical support, Wolfhound delivers a force-multiplier for site security. Networked under the PR-SNN, these agile units converge on threats, establish protective perimeters, and deploy non- and sub-lethal countermeasures—stopping incursions in their tracks.

1. System Overview

The PR-Wolfhound combines all-terrain mobility with modular payload capacity. Its reinforced composite frame carries up to 50 kg of equipment, while articulated legs and integrated wheels enable speeds up to 15 km/h over rough ground. An IP68-sealed chassis ensures operation in rain, mud, and dust.

Core Components

Chassis & Mobility
- Hybrid leg-wheel design for stability and speed
- Shock-absorbing joints; 4× brushless wheel-drive motors
Power & Endurance
- Dual-chemistry battery pack (Li-ion flight-grade + high-density ground pack)
- Up to 6 hours continuous patrol; hot-swap battery pods
Payload Bays
- Front-mount turret interface for non-lethal arms
- Rear cargo bay for ballistic barriers or medical kits
Comm & Control
- PoE network link & optional LTE/5G uplink
- Encrypted mesh radio to PR-SNN and nearby units

2. Engagement Capabilities

Non-Lethal Modules

Water/Slime Cannon
- Range: 20 m; high-pressure jet for crowd dispersal
LRAD Speaker Array
- Range: 150 m; directional voice and deterrent tones
Flash-Bang Dispensers
- Up to 5 devices per bay; disorienting for non-violent incapacitation
Smoke/OC Grenade Launcher
- 30 m deployment; area-denial and obscuration

Sub-Lethal Munitions

40 mm Sponge Rounds
- Effective range: 35 m; blunt impact for rapid compliance
Pepper-Ball Launcher
- Spread radius: 5 m; velocity 80 m/s
Net-Gun Module
- Capture nets to immobilize suspects within 10 m

Key Benefits Close-Quarters Control: Designed for operations where static turrets can’t reach. Rapid Payload Swap: Front-bay hot-swap allows switching from crowd control to suspect apprehension in under 30 s. Integrated Barrier Deployment: Establishes temporary ballistic shields ahead of human teams.

3. Multi-Modal Sensor Suite

Wolfhound’s on-board sensors ensure target identification, terrain mapping, and threat classification:

Sensor Type	Specs	Role
LiDAR Scanner	100 m range; 0.2° resolution	Terrain profiling & obstacle avoidance
Thermal Imager	640×480 @ 30 Hz; 40 m range	Night operation & heat-signature detection
RGB PTZ Camera	1080p; 20× optical zoom	Threat confirmation & forensics
Short-Range Radar	77 GHz FMCW; 50 m range	Motion detection in obscurants
Acoustic Gunshot Sensor	360° mic array; <1 ms localization	Instant firearm discharge alerts
IMU & GNSS	RTK-corrected GNSS; 6-axis IMU	Precise navigation & stability

Why This Matters All-Terrain Awareness: LiDAR and radar allow Wolfhound to navigate complex environments while tracking moving threats. Low-Light Reliability: Thermal and acoustic sensors ensure detection even when vision is compromised. Seamless PR-SNN Integration: Continuous data streaming to the Security Neural Network enables coordinated, automated responses.

4. Strategic Deployment & PR-SNN Orchestration

As part of a mixed-unit network, Wolfhounds excel at close-in engagements and rapid site reinforcement:

Barrier Line Formation
- Wolfhounds deploy modular ballistic barriers to form protected corridors or block ingress points.
Close Escort & Intercept
- Paired with PR-Guide Dogs, they shepherd suspects from aerial detection zones into containment paths.
Dynamic Task Reallocation
- PR-SNN reprioritizes Wolfhound tasks in real time—shifting units from perimeter sweep to medical resupply when needed.
Operator Interaction
- Live video feeds and “engage” commands via secure console; full manual override available.

Active Intrusion Response

Upon a fence breach alert, two Wolfhounds advance under PR-SNN guidance, establish a barrier line 10 m ahead, and engage with sponge rounds—subduing intruders in under 4 seconds and preventing access to critical zones.

5. Rapid Medical & Logistics Support

Beyond engagement, Wolfhound’s cargo bay transforms it into a mobile support unit:

Medical Evacuation Kit
- Automated CPR pump, trauma dressings, intravenous fluids
- Delivers to wounded personnel and maintains comms link to medics
Barrier Deployment Pods
- Carries up to five 1 × 2 m ballistic panels; auto-unload mechanism
Supply Runs
- Delivers ammunition reloads, repair kits, or command packages across the site

Key Benefits Versatile Force Multiplier: Shifts from security to support roles without downtime. Reduced Risk to Personnel: Wolfhound enters high-threat zones ahead of human teams. Operational Continuity: Keeps barriers and supplies flowing during sustained incidents.

6. Use Cases & Impact

Scenario	Wolfhound Role	Outcome
Correctional Facility Riot	Barrier line formation; sponge-round engagement	Crowd controlled within 10 s; no injuries
Industrial Plant Breach	Close-in intercept; net-gun immobilization	Intruder captured before access to controls
Nighttime Perimeter Patrol	Thermal sweep; LRAD warnings	Poacher deterred; sensors logged event
Medical Aid in Hostile Zone	Rapid med-kit delivery; comm relay	Two casualties stabilized pre-evac

Conclusion

The PR-Wolfhound redefines ground-based security: combining heavy-duty mobility, modular non-lethal/sub-lethal engagement, and critical-support logistics in a single quadruped platform. Integrated with the PR-SNN, these units not only detect and neutralize threats within seconds but also provide on-demand barrier deployment and medical support. For decision-makers, Wolfhound offers a scalable ROI—reducing response times, minimizing personnel risk, and ensuring continuous perimeter integrity.
