Paratroopers recently tested an autonomous vehicle that featured artificial intelligence during Agile Spirit 25 in Europe.

The Army assessed the Overland AI ULTRA Fully Autonomous Tactical Vehicle prototype at the Vaziani Training Area in Georgia on July 29, according to a service release.

Agile Spirit 25 is a biennial multinational exercise that aims to maintain security and stability for the Black Sea Region, Col. Will Cox, co-exercise director, said in a statement.

“We’re trying to keep soldiers off the front lines and keep our warfighters safe,” Adam Ungar, senior program manager at Overland AI, said in a statement.

Ungar said an autonomous vehicle can be put in harm’s way — in place of a soldier — to help save lives.
