The United States Marine Corps tested Overland AI’s autonomous artillery systems in a recent demonstration of its ROGUE (Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary) Fires platform.
According to a report by Defence Blog, the company integrated the OverDrive autonomy stack and the SPARK sensor kit into the Marine Corps’ ROGUE Fires platform during the demonstration held on April 23, 2026.
By combining the two systems, the platform delivered a hardware and software package that enabled the ROGUE Fires platform to navigate independently across mixed terrain in environments where communications and GPS signals cannot be relied upon.
In the recent demonstration, the ROGUE Fires prototype operated without human intervention across mixed terrain for several hours. The test also included manned-unmanned teaming operations, with the ROGUE Fires platform coordinating with other vehicles during the exercise.
“Our work with the ROGUE Fires platform reinforces that Overland autonomy is capable of expeditionary operations within the weapons engagement zone,” said Tim Francis, Director of Business Development at Overland AI.
“This technology was built to handle the contested radio frequency and weather demands of littoral missions, and we are proud to support the Marine Corps.”
