The '''Desert Tech Hard Target Interdiction''' ('''HTI''') is a [[Engineering:Bullpup|bullpup]] [[Engineering:Bolt action|bolt-action]] sniper and [[Engineering:Anti-materiel rifle|anti-materiel rifle]] designed and manufactured in West Valley City, Utah, United States by Desert Tech (formerly Desert Tactical Arms).

==Design==
The design of the HTI is largely based on the [[Engineering:Desert Tech SRS#Variants|SRS-A1]], scaled up to handle larger cartridges.

Barrels on the HTI can be changed within 60 seconds, allowing the chambering to be easily changed or worn out barrels to be quickly replaced.<ref name="HTI Overview">{{cite web|url=https://deserttech.com/html/product_overview.php?product_id=1&load=product_overview|title=PRODUCT OVERVIEW » HTI|access-date=12 April 2016}}</ref> The chamberings currently available from Desert Tech are .375 Cheyenne Tactical (CheyTac), .408 CheyTac, .416 Barrett and .50 BMG.<ref name="HTI Specs">{{cite web|url=https://deserttech.com/html/product_overview.php?product_id=1&load=specifications|title=PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS » HTI|access-date=11 July 2016}}</ref>

The bullpup design means the action is behind the trigger. As with all bullpups, this allows for a shorter overall length, without having to reduce barrel length.
