Overland AI secured $100 million in equity financing to scale deployment of its autonomous ground vehicle technologies with U.S. Armed Forces, marking a transition from experimental trials to operational fielding. The funding round, led by 8VC and supported by multiple venture investors, also included a $20 million venture debt facility. The capital will accelerate deployment of the company’s ULTRA autonomous platform across U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations missions. Overland AI highlighted its completion of DARPA’s Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency program, underscoring maturation of its systems for contested logistics, counter-UAS operations, breaching missions, and resupply. The investment reflects broader U.S. military efforts to integrate semi-autonomous and supervised autonomy platforms into reconnaissance, logistics, and battlefield awareness roles.
