Based on the latest Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, and significantly lighter and faster than similar vehicles in the sector, the WARHAWK receives significant upgrades from the Hennessey team. Demonstrating the range of fully-modular vehicle enhancements from HDS, the WARHAWK shows how a spectrum of vehicles could be adapted for Special Operations and SWAT team transportation. The modular system also enables buyers to specify the bed to carry supplies, weaponry, or emergency medical equipment.

The Hennessey Defense Systems upgrades also add armored drivetrain shielding, swap out regular tires for off-road run-flats, and add mounting points for weapon systems, reconnaissance apparatus, or medical equipment. For battlefield use, Hennessey can convert the fuel system to run on diesel or kerosene-based fuels. Large fleet buyers can tailor their specification for specific purposes, but further ‘standard’ upgrades include robust steel bumpers with an integrated winch, a one switch ‘blackout function’, and extra power outlets throughout the passenger space and load bed.
