Overland AI

Power. Speed. Precision. A glimpse into the future of ground autonomy. Our new teaser video captures the aggressive maneuver of ground vehicles running on our OverDrive autonomy stack. They tear through challenging off-road terrain at operational speeds. Paired with our intuitive OverWatch C2 interface, we are unlocking combined capabilities for tactical operators coordinating uncrewed ground vehicles in contested environments.

A 12-ton tracked vehicle running on our OverDrive autonomy stack emerges from the tree line, maneuvering down a rough tank trail while executing a mission. This autonomous system leverages the terrain to its advantage, choosing paths that increase concealment relative to known enemy locations. Ground autonomy for defense is complex. Obstacles can be static and embedded in the landscape, but they are also shaped by enemy threats and constantly shifting in real time. Overland AI builds ground autonomy to navigate, adapt, and exploit these dynamic conditions to outmaneuver the opposition. 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.

Autonomous systems must work in practice and support the warfighter's mission. We are proud to participate in ARTEMIS CROWN, integrating our autonomous land systems with trailers and drones to support next-generation breaching concepts. The Sandhills Project is redefining the possible by constant real-world iteration: building, testing, refining, and testing again. Overland AI is developing our technology with the XVIII Airborne Corps and other units because many of us are veterans ourselves. We know what it takes for autonomy to work in real operations. We are committed to making sure warfighters have the most advanced capabilities to keep them ahead of the fight during breaching operations.

Next-generation capabilities can only be developed by placing new technology into the hands of warfighters as quickly as possible. Overland AI upholds its commitment to partnering with tactical operators to bring the most advanced capabilities to bear on complex missions.

Overland AI continues to partner with the Sandhills Project at Project Convergence at Ft. Irwin, CA. We are integrating payloads onto ground autonomy with the XVIII Airborne Corps to deliver multi-domain capabilities for the warfighter. Check out sUAS swarms launching off of an SMET upfit by Overland and running our OverDrive autonomy stack. Uncrewed systems will only continue to proliferate on the battlefield, and Overland AI’s capability is powering one operator to deploy multiple ground vehicles and swarms of robots for the warfighter.

Stephanie Bonk, co-founder and president of Overland AI, has been named by Inc. Magazine to their Female Founders 500 list. We celebrate Stephanie featuring alongside the most inspiring female entrepreneurs in business today. Read all about it and this year's list here: https://bit.ly/3FkS49W

We are pleased to welcome Ben Barocas to our leadership team as Head of Finance. He joins us from Palantir Technologies, where he worked as part of the Offices of the CEO and the CFO. Ben will lead corporate and strategic finance for Overland AI, and his expertise will further strengthen the Overland AI mission as we redefine ground autonomy for the U.S. and our allies.?

Watch our OverDrive autonomy stack pilot a Polaris RZR through dense vegetation and rutted creek beds before breaking out to race across an open field. This type of terrain is challenging: the tall vegetation obscures the complex ground geometry and presents difficult choices for the autonomy stack. Which vegetation can be pushed through and which should be avoided? How should the vehicle approach rough ground when it is partially occluded by tall grass and bushes? OverDrive's onboard AI leverages years of data collected through continuous testing on a fleet of vehicles in a wide range of biomes to make these difficult decisions, allowing it to navigate even the most challenging terrain reliably. This is real ground autonomy: (1x) video of high-speed, point-to-point navigation powered by onboard sensing and compute.

Overland AI greatly appreciates being selected as a finalist for two GeekWire Awards: AI Innovation of the Year and Workplace of the Year. These nominations recognize both our advancements in autonomous technology and the team that makes it all possible. Voting is open until midnight on March 23, and every vote counts. Support Overland AI by casting your vote at?https://bit.ly/4kp8YnW?or from the awards event page at?https://bit.ly/4irT9ev. We are thankful for the support from everyone who believes in what we are building.

We owe the warfighter autonomy that is rigorously tested, field-proven, and reliable under the most demanding conditions. This capability is ready right now. And Overland AI is delivering it to end users today. Autonomy that reduces risk while multiplying force to deliver faster and better mission outcomes for U.S. ground forces. Jay Wisham, our Chief Strategy Officer, will discuss artificial intelligence on the battlefield at the Tectonic Defense Summit on March 10-11.
