Raising the bar every time our technology is fielded.

For almost a decade, Byron Boots, our co-founder and Director of the University of Washington Robot Learning Laboratory, has worked closely with the US Army Research Laboratory developing new robotic capabilities for defense. As militaries around the world adopted drones and other robotic technologies, he recognized that ground autonomy remains one of the most difficult and important open spaces for innovation. Today, virtually every ground vehicle the military fields has a human inside it. Removing the human from a vehicle presents both safety and tactical advantages on the battlefield.

We founded Overland AI to transform land operations by delivering the most advanced and dependable ground autonomy solutions to the U.S. Military and Partner Nations. Our world-leading team combines the best engineering and scientific talent the US has to offer with veterans who have first-hand experience on the front lines. Our technology has been validated by DARPA and currently supports a range of programs in the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Command. In 2026, Overland AI became the first ground autonomy company to prime a production contract for the U.S. Military.

Removing the human driver from inside the vehicle was step one. Now we are focused on one-to-many coordination: a single operator coordinating a fleet of autonomous ground vehicles simultaneously, each carrying different payloads and operating in concert. Once tasked, the vehicles independently navigate terrain while communicating with each other to synchronize motion and share context in real time. Plans are generated and adapted continuously, at machine speed. This is the work of turning a single command into a mission executed by many.
