| ULTRA |
The US Army has begun field trials of a fully autonomous tactical vehicle as part of the large-scale Agile Spirit 25 exercises in Georgia (Sakartvelo). The developer of this robotic machine is Overland AI, based in Seattle. The vehicle, known as the ULTRA, is being tested in real—world conditions to assess how well it copes with one of the most dangerous tasks on the battlefield - delivering goods over rough and potentially hostile terrain.
The main feature of ULTRA is its ability to move towards a goal completely without direct human control. Unlike remote-controlled robots, this truck uses complex algorithms and sensors to make its own decisions: avoid obstacles, choose a route and avoid threats. This is crucial to reduce the risks for soldiers, who usually have to risk their lives when delivering ammunition and supplies to "hot spots".
The tests in Georgia are an important step towards creating a future where autonomous columns can accompany infantry, providing continuous support even when communications are disrupted or the situation becomes too dangerous for humans.
