At Agile Spirit 25 in the Republic of Georgia, the U.S. Army tested Overland AI’s ULTRA fully autonomous tactical vehicle alongside Soldiers from the 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment of the 173rd Airborne Brigade. "Uncrewed systems are radically changing the character of

Overland AI is in the Republic of Georgia for Agile Spirit 25, working with the 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment of the 173rd Airborne Brigade. Over the next two weeks, ULTRA will support live training missions with U.S. Army Soldiers across rough, forested terrain at the

Tracked vehicles deliver exceptional off-road mobility and maneuverability, but their dynamics differ markedly from wheeled platforms. Overland’s autonomy stack adapts to the unique characteristics of vehicles like the Textron M5, adjusting for the complex vehicle dynamics while

Self-driving was willed into existence by events like the DARPA Grand Challenge in 2004. Entrants had to grapple not only with a nascent technology but with some of the most hostile terrain in the United States: the Mojave Desert. No one finished the course. Three years later,

In 2017, our Director of Robotics, Grady Williams, published pioneering work that allowed an autonomous system to 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 how to drive optimally, rather than having to be 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗻 how to drive optimally. Conventional self-driving methods depended on pre-computed

Watch our OverDrive autonomy stack pilot a Polaris RZR through a complex forested environment characterized by tall pines and low oaks. The challenge is determining what vegetation is crushable, what must be avoided, and how to find the way to the next checkpoint under dense

Last week, Overland AI's Director of Product, Chris Merz, joined a panel at the @DardenMBA to speak about building a modern defense technology company. A former Army Ranger and MBA, Chris shared insights on what it takes to recruit and retain exceptional talent, to scale hardware

Our president Steph Bonk joined a leadership panel at the launch of Silicon Valley Defense Group's NatSec100 list for 2025. Steph shared her experience as a co-founder and leader of Overland AI. The company’s deep technical expertise, alongside relentless iteration with

Overland AI is the only company focused on off-road ground autonomy featured in the NatSec100. Each year, the @SVDG_official releases the NatSec100 to recognize the top venture- and PE-backed startups driving innovation and resilience in U.S. national security. CEO Byron Boots

Next week, Overland is bringing field-proven autonomy to LANDEURO. Connect with us in Wiesbaden, Germany, at Booth 300, and see firsthand how our work equips commanders, empowers joint forces, and elevates the industry standard for what mission-ready off-road autonomy looks like.

Watch ULTRA tear through mud, water, and steep climbs. Behind the scenes, our autonomy stack OverDrive combines multimodal sensor data and live cost mapping to replan optimal routing on the order of milliseconds, avoiding challenging areas without needing any human intervention.

Overland AI has moved up to No. 15 on the GeekWire 200, a list of the top privately held Pacific Northwest startups, and we are just getting started. Thank you to @geekwire for recognizing our momentum. Check out the full list here:

Operators require autonomy that moves as fast as they do. Watch our OverDrive autonomy stack take on sandy desert roads at 25-30 mph. This is real ground autonomy: no prior maps, no pre-defined paths, and no teleoperation. Just real-time (1x) video.

Watch our OverDrive autonomy stack pilot an uncrewed Polaris RZR through steep hills and deep snow in Michigan winter. Same autonomy, radically different visual and environmental conditions. This is real ground autonomy: no prior maps, no pre-defined paths, and no teleoperation.

"Every mission demanded complete confidence in our gear, from our radios and weapons to the vehicles and sensors we employed. If we didn’t trust it, we didn’t bring it on target." See the comments for "Building Trust in Defense Technology" by Chris Merz, our Director of Product.

This is real ground autonomy: no prior maps, no pre-defined paths, and no teleoperation. Just real-time (1x) video of high-speed, point-to-point navigation powered by onboard sensing and compute.

Overland AI demonstrated Soldier-led autonomy across day and night operations at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., as part of the MSPIX experiment. Soldiers from the 555th, 36th, and 20th Engineer Brigades, and the 173rd Airborne Brigade, operated two of our fully autonomous tactical

Today we celebrate our CTO, Jon Fink, for receiving the 2025 Test of Time Award from the Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) conference. His 2010 paper, “Cooperative Manipulation and Transportation with Aerial Robots,” co-authored with Vijay Kumar (Dean, Penn Engineering) and

Our perception systems adapt to complexity with two core strategies: self-supervised learning (robots learn from what they see) and foundation models to understand 3D terrain using visual data trained in 2D. Smarter navigation, safer maneuvering, reliable decision-making. No GPS.
