Overland AI's mission is "to equip armed forces with the most advanced, dependable autonomy solutions to increase ground power and save lives". Its autonomy stack, asset orchestration platform, and hardware products are intended to enable a single operator to manage a fleet of vehicles remotely without ever entering the vehicle. In GPS-denied environments like the Russia-Ukraine war, remote-operated tanks are vulnerable to jamming, which exposes the team to enemy exploitation. Where human operators cannot have a line of visibility, autonomous systems can continue to execute missions independently. Overland AI’s stated mission is to replace the most dangerous jobs for tank operators by deploying modular autonomous systems that interpret and respond to the unpredictable battlefield terrain in ways human drivers can’t.
