Hirogen ships made use of various technologies including torpedo launchers, shield emitters and sensors. Their vessels were also equipped with a subnucleonic beam that could perform rapid scans of other vessels and could severely disable another ship, disrupting its propulsion and its navigational sensors. Once a targeted ship was disabled, the Hirogen can use their tractor beam technology to tractor in their prey. Their ships also have monotanium armor plating. This plating offers extra protection and it had the added effect of scattering targeting beams. These vessels were also able to mask their engines by operating in stealth mode, when they wish to track a vessel without alerting it to their presence. | Hirogen ships made use of various technologies including torpedo launchers, shield emitters and sensors.

Communication between the Hirogen utilized a subspace relay network. This network was over 100,000 years old, and extends to communications range of the Alpha quadrant. It's powered by artificial quantum singularities, similar to Romulan warp drives. Each of these relays produced an intense gravitational field - when one of the relays was destroyed, the energy from the quantum singularity created a massive discharge that disabled the stations on the relay network. This didn't seem to upset their long range communication, as information about Federation holographic technology seems to have traveled great distances, passing Voyager on its way home. Perhaps the unidentified arrays of antennae on top of the holofacility were responsible. The Hirogen’s subspace relay network largely fell quiet after the Hirogen largely switched to holographic hunts<ref name=" | Communication between the Hirogen utilized a subspace relay network.
