Off-road ground autonomy stack for defence vehicles
About Overland AI
Overland AI is a Seattle company founded in 2022 that builds off-road ground-vehicle autonomy for defence and national security, led by CEO Byron Boots (also Amazon Endowed Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Washington). Its OverDrive autonomy stack enables ground vehicles to operate autonomously in complex, contested and electronically denied terrain, with integrations reported on platforms such as the Polaris RZR, Textron Ripsaw M5 and General Dynamics S-MET, plus OverWatch C2 so one operator can supervise multiple vehicles. Overland has been a U.S. Army/DIU OT prototype performer and a DARPA RACER Phase II performer refining OverDrive on heavy tracked and lightweight wheeled vehicles. After a $10 million seed led by Point72 Ventures (with Shasta, Ascend, Pioneer Square Labs, Voyager and Cubit), Overland AI in September 2026 raised a $32 million Series A led by 8VC, with Ascend, Osage University Partners, Overmatch Ventures, Point72 Ventures, Shasta Ventures and The CAPROCK Group, to accelerate deployment of off-road autonomy for defence customers.
