Overland AI Showcases Fully Autonomous Tactical Vehicle at Army Applications Lab Demo

In a recent experimentation event, Overland AI showcased the capabilities of its fully autonomous tactical vehicle at a demonstration hosted by the Army Applications Lab.

Attended by combat engineers from across multiple U.S. Army and Marine Corps units, the exercise demonstrated how Overland’s fully autonomous tactical vehicle, powered by Overland AI’s OverDrive autonomy stack and OverWatch tactical interface, can disrupt enemy maneuvers. The vehicle, which can traverse off-road terrain at speeds of at least 30 mph with a range of at least 100 miles and a payload capacity greater than 900 lbs, makes it more difficult for adversaries to traverse by deploying deep terrain shaping obstacles (DTSOs).

The demonstration was attended by Army engineering units, including:

264th CO (CEC-I), 27th Engineer Battalion, 20th Engineer Brigade
595th CO (CEC-A), 5th Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade
570th CO (CEC-I/S), 864th Engineer Battalion, 555th Engineer Brigade.

During the exercise, combat engineers engaged directly with Overland AI’s OverWatch tactical interface, planning and executing realistic scenarios. Soldiers were able to experience firsthand how the system operates in rugged terrain, adapting to mission parameters with minimal input. With at least 1 kW of available power for payloads and an idle time of two hours, Overland AI’s attritable autonomous tactical vehicle is engineered for extended mission durations and highly adaptable operations in contested terrain.

Overland AI remains committed to advancing autonomous military technologies, having previously secured an $18.6 million contract with the U.S. Army and the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to develop autonomy software for the Army's Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) program. The company continues to support a range of U.S. military programs, including the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Command.
