South Korea is exploring hydrogen-powered autonomy with Hyundai Rotem’s “Black Veil,” a stealthy unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) designed for long-endurance missions in high-threat areas.
The platform combines four-wheel drive with a fully open cargo bed, offering flexibility for multiple mission roles — from frontline combat to logistics support.
Unlike battery-powered UGVs, hydrogen fuel cells trade simplicity for longer endurance and low-noise operation, sustaining steady power over extended missions while enabling rapid refueling.
