Partnership integrates AimLock’s autonomous targeting and engagement systems into Overland AI’s ULTRA vehicle, purpose-built for combat operations in contested environments, to support multi-mission scenarios on the ground.
AimLock, a pioneer in autonomous targeting and engagement systems, today announces a partnership with Overland AI, the leading provider of ground autonomy for defense. The partnership integrates AimLock’s systems into Overland’s ULTRA—an autonomous, mission-ready ground vehicle built for the battlefield—to deliver multi-mission solutions for the warfighter using a human-in-the-loop approach.
With ground operations demanding new capabilities in the autonomous battlefield, this partnership aims to deliver:
- Autonomous Mobility and Kinetic Effects: ULTRA is built to support the modern warfighter. It is modular, attritable, and designed to operate beyond line of sight in contested environments, with unmatched mobility and combat power. Now, with AimLock’s proven systems, ULTRA can extend effects across contested environments, such as GPS-denied zones, jammed communications, and beyond.
- Multi-Mission Support on the Ground: AimLock’s systems, which are powered by the company’s Core Targeting Modules—called Keystone (CTM)—will support Overland’s ULTRA in delivering decision-accelerating kinetic solutions across key mission sets in Counter-UAS, Force Protection, Direct Action, Integrated Defense, Strike Anti Armor, and Support by Fire.
- Flexibility with AimLock’s Suite of Systems: Overland AI’s ULTRA is compatible with the majority of AimLock’s systems, including the Spur, Rampart, Summit, Switchback, and ROLS, and can be fitted according to the end user’s specific kinetic requirements.
“The evolution of autonomy on the battlefield is changing the very nature of ground operations as we know it, and our systems are at the forefront of helping the warfighter prevail against the enemy,” said Bryan Bockmon, CEO of AimLock. “We are proud to be partnering with Overland AI on bringing AimLock’s autonomous systems to its ULTRA and to support their mission of equipping our armed forces with the most advanced, dependable autonomy solutions to increase ground power and save lives.”
“Overland AI is transforming our warfighter’s capability through robotics and artificial intelligence increasing their safety and effectiveness on the battlefield,” said Byron Boots, co-founder and chief executive officer of Overland AI. “We are especially proud to partner with AimLock, whose multi-mission solutions exemplify the versatility of our payload integrations and give the Armed Forces a decisive advantage across every terrain and domain.”
