The Problem This Solution Solves
Current U.S. military and uncrewed ground vehicle (UGV) systems lack an integrated software architecture that supports both robust teleoperation and fully autonomous waypoint navigation in complex, contested environments. This gap limits operational flexibility and hinders seamless transitions between human-in-the-loop and autonomous control modes. A unified software prototype is required to fuse multi-sensor inputs, enable safe and reliable teleoperation and autonomous navigation, and establish a scalable pipeline for continuous integration of advanced autonomy features from industry.
The Solution
Forterra’s integrated autonomy stack—combining AutoDrive and the Vehicle-Level Planner—delivers a mission-ready, modular solution proven across multiple military and commercial platforms for autonomous navigation in complex, unstructured terrain. The system fuses perception, behavior planning, teleoperation, and autonomous waypoint navigation into a scalable software pipeline that enables safe, reliable operation both on-road and off-road. Its ATAK-compatible, user-friendly interface supports seamless control in both dismounted and mounted configurations, ensuring intuitive operator interaction across mission sets.
