Defense UGV
DEPLOY tracks 32 makers (including Quantum Systems, Forterra, and Overland AI), 39 models, and 248 deployments on the record, most recently Forterra Lancer at USA. Unmanned ground vehicles for defense applications.
Defense UGVs operate under DoD acquisition + export-control regimes distinct from passenger AV (NHTSA + state DMV) and commercial freight (FMCSA + NHTSA dual). Coverage scopes to the platform entity. The category surfaces program-level deployments (named contracts, named units, named operating commands) where verified by primary-source DoD or contractor disclosure. Verified-vs-claimed asymmetry reads program awards versus fielded operational state.
