In ground systems, Overland AI, initially known for its OverDrive autonomy software stack utilized in various military unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) like the Textron Ripsaw and General Dynamics S-MET, is now producing its own UGV, the “Ultra”. The US Army is embracing advanced simulation for integrating complex AI systems. BAE Systems Australia and Boeing Defence Australia signed a 10-year Head Agreement concerning the MQ-28 Ghost Bat Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). Under this agreement, BAE Systems will continue delivering its sovereign Vehicle Management System (VMS) software, which enables the MQ-28’s autonomous flight. These developments collectively signal that software, AI, and autonomy are becoming increasingly core components that define the capabilities of modern military platforms.
