Partnership
General Dynamics Land Systems x Kodiak Robotics
On May 7 2026 Kodiak AI and General Dynamics Land Systems announced a strategic collaboration to create autonomous ground vehicles for defense. Kodiak provides the Kodiak Driver; GDLS leads vehicle integration, power, communications, and ruggedized platforms. Their first joint vehicle is Leonidas AGV, a commercial Ford F-600 adapted with Epirus Leonidas high-power microwave for mobile counter-drone ops, also aimed at logistics resupply, ISR, and maneuver.
Quotes include Don Burnette (Kodiak) and Keith Barclay (GDLS). The companies said they will pursue U.S. Army and international opportunities together. This is a collaboration announcement, not an awarded production contract count (Kodiak AI).
