Hennessey WARHAWK: HDS’ Light Strike-Force Vehicle

Hennessey has officially entered the defense sector with the launch of its latest creation—the Hennessey WARHAWK. Developed under the newly formed Hennessey Defense Systems (HDS), this light strike-force vehicle is engineered to deliver exceptional speed, agility, and modular adaptability for military, special operations, and SWAT team applications.

Based on the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, the Hennessey WARHAWK represents the brand’s commitment to innovation, leveraging nearly 35 years of expertise in high-performance vehicle design. The Hennessey WARHAWK stands out in the defense vehicle sector due to its lightweight construction and performance upgrades.

Compared to similar strike-force vehicles, the WARHAWK is significantly lighter and faster, ensuring optimal mobility in high-stakes situations. The modular design enables a range of customization options, allowing the vehicle to be outfitted with weapon mounts, reconnaissance technology, or emergency medical equipment. Buyers can tailor the truck’s bed to carry mission-critical supplies, reinforcing its versatility for combat, emergency response, and law enforcement operations.

Hennessey Defense Systems has equipped the WARHAWK with a series of rugged enhancements to withstand extreme conditions. The modifications include armored drivetrain shielding, off-road run-flat tires, and reinforced steel bumpers with an integrated winch. The WARHAWK also features mounting points for advanced reconnaissance equipment and weapon systems, making it an ideal choice for modern battlefield applications. Additionally, Hennessey offers a fuel system conversion option, allowing the WARHAWK to run on diesel or kerosene-based fuels.

Beyond its battlefield readiness, the Hennessey WARHAWK is designed for real-world practicality, offering specialized features that enhance its tactical capabilities. A one-switch blackout function brings stealth operations, while additional power outlets throughout the passenger space and load bed support mission-critical electronic devices. The vehicle’s permanent four-wheel drive system, 1,200-pound payload capacity, and 4,500-pound towing capability solidify its premise as a multi-functional, high-performance strike-force vehicle.

With the launch of Hennessey Defense Systems, Hennessey Performance is now applying its engineering prowess to the defense and emergency response sectors, positioning the WARHAWK as its flagship tactical vehicle. The combination of durability, adaptability, and raw power makes the WARHAWK an ideal choice for military, SWAT, and emergency response teams worldwide.

Fleet and individual orders are now being accepted. Interested buyers and procurement teams can find more details and customization options on the Hennessey Defense Systems website at HennesseySpecialVehicles.com/Defense.
