Prototype OT — Autonomous Navigation for Robotic Combat Vehicles
24-month, $18.6M-ceiling prototype Other Transaction agreement to develop an autonomous navigation stack for the U.S. Army's Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) program.
RCV is the Army's unmanned ground combat vehicle effort, envisioned to scout and screen ahead of manned formations and guard their flanks while reducing soldier exposure to ambushes and direct fire; the program has since consolidated its original light/medium/heavy variants into a single common-chassis vehicle. Overland AI's award falls under DIU's Ground Vehicle Autonomous Pathways (GVAP) project, which selected eight vendors — including Overland AI, Forterra, Kodiak Robotics, and Neya Systems for autonomous navigation — to prototype sensor-fusion-based autonomy software for uncrewed ground vehicles.
