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.

More footage of our experiment directly supporting end users in the XVIII Airborne Corps with revolutionary ground autonomy for multi-domain 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.

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.

Watch this 12-ton tracked Textron M5 piloted by our OverDrive autonomy stack charge across steep slopes, arc around trees, and ascend into the light. 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.

Facilities Spotlight: Overland AI Labs The genesis of Overland AI was in the laboratory. Building on decades of advanced research in robotics and machine learning, the Overland AI Labs are where ground autonomy originates. Engineers here develop and refine our OverDrive autonomy stack and OverWatch C2 interface to ensure ground vehicles operate with precision in the most contested environments. Exquisite tools for simulation, real-time optimization, and hardware-in-the-loop testing allow for rapid iteration and rigorous validation of our autonomous ground systems. The Overland AI Labs are strategically located close to our Factory and Proving Grounds to create a seamless pipeline from research to deployment. Situated in Seattle’s thriving technology ecosystem and minutes from the University of Washington, Overland AI continues to attract the brightest talent dedicated to pushing the limits of autonomous ground capabilities for defense and national security.
