Battlefield-proven. Built for everything the field demands.

Siderunner was engineered from lessons learned on the battlefields of Ukraine and Asia. Made for small units, it carries the payloads your mission demands, adapts as requirements change, and goes where troops go—and where they can’t.

Made to move.

Built for small units, Siderunner travels in a pickup truck, deploys with two people, reconfigures in five minutes or less, and keeps moving with hot-swappable batteries. Its field-repairable design keeps the support burden down, while its practical economics let you field the platform in numbers instead of treating every vehicle like a precious asset.

Field Proof

Proven in contested environments.

  • Stridar Siderunner UAV deployed to winter environment

    Field deployments

    Siderunner has been deployed in Ukraine and Asia, where battlefield experience continues to shape the platform itself. The lessons are practical: make it adaptable, repairable, easy to move, and useful under the conditions troops actually face.

  • US Army service members training with Siderunner UAV

    US Army validation

    Siderunner has also undergone validation exercises with A U.S. Army mechanized division, bringing U.S. Army evaluation to a platform already shaped by battlefield experience.

  • Siderunner UAV with full payload

    Built from operator input

    “Build us a Toyota Hilux, not a Porsche.”


    That request from a Ukrainian soldier captures the thinking behind Siderunner: build a dependable workhorse that troops can use hard, adapt quickly, repair in the field, and send back out.

Features

Built for the battlefield. Designed for scale.

  • Carry what the mission requires

    Siderunner supports substantial mission payloads, from ISR and communications systems to logistics, demining, C-UAS, and other specialized equipment. Standard and Siderunner Pro configurations give programs different levels of payload capacity for different requirements.

  • Stay out longer

    Siderunner is designed for useful operating windows in field conditions, with hot-swappable batteries that let crews extend the mission without taking the platform out of service for a lengthy recharge.

  • Reconfigure when the mission changes

    Payload exchanges take five minutes or less. The same platform can carry one mission system today and another tomorrow without returning to the manufacturer for a rebuild.

  • Repair it. Return it to service.

    Siderunner is designed to be repaired in the field. Replaceable components and straightforward construction let crews get a damaged vehicle working again instead of turning every repair into a depot-level event.

  • Connect to the systems you already use

    Siderunner works with third-party sensors, autonomy, communications, C2, and other mission systems, so the vehicle can become part of the capability your unit already operates rather than forcing you into a closed ecosystem.

  • Siderunner Pro when NDAA compliance is required

    For defense, government, and prime-contractor programs with stricter procurement requirements, our Siderunner Pro configuration offers higher payload, longer endurance, and greater support for autonomy integration.
