ULTRA at Morocco
Overland AI (Seattle, Washington, founded 2022) manufactures the ULTRA, a fully autonomous uncrewed ground vehicle for military operations including reconnaissance, logistics resupply, counter-drone, and breaching in GPS-denied and extreme environments. The ULTRA reaches 56 km/h, carries 453 kg of payload, and has a cruising range of 160 km running on Overland AI's proprietary OverDrive autonomy software and SPARK hardware.
The US Marine Corps has purchased ULTRA vehicles and US troops have evaluated it in tactical scenarios; Overland AI raised $100 million in February 2026 to scale production with US armed forces.
