Overland AI's IBEX AGV Field-Proven for U.S. Military Use
What happened
Overland AI announced the launch of IBEX, a fully autonomous ground vehicle (AGV) that secured a prime production contract for the U.S. military. The vehicle operates independently using OverDrive software and SPARK hardware infrastructure. The U.S. Marine Corps selected IBEX for integration into its Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS).
