Overland AI develops autonomous navigation systems for UGVs and manufactures its own land system vehicles. The OverDrive AI autopilot is specifically designed for natural military conditions. It perceives terrain using active and passive onboard sensors in challenging conditions such as rain, fog and nighttime. With the OverWatch C2 system, operators can manage, control and coordinate these systems remotely, one-to-many. The SPARK system allows the OverDrive autopilot to be installed on third-party platforms. And its own ULTRA platform is modular, easily disassembled and designed for operation beyond visual range in standoff conditions. It can be used for reconnaissance, logistics and combat missions. Overland AI, in partnership with DARPA, provides autonomous ground vehicle technologies to the US military.

Occam Industries is developing software that enbales drone autonomy without changing the design of the device. The software allows drones to perform tasks without constant manual control, GPS or external communication. This should reduce dependence on operators and make the systems less vulnerable to signal jamming. According to the company, its solutions have already undergone field testing in Ukraine through the Brave1 platform. The next stage is Proof of Concept based on the Ukrainian unmanned platform with adaptation to real combat conditions.

Harmattan AI develops software for autonomous drone control and calls itself "the European equivalent of Anduril." It produces its own autonomous small aerial drones for operator training, battlefield reconnaissance and situational awareness (using synthetic aperture radar) and rapid interception of enemy 1-2 wing UAVs. The company has a contract with Dassault Aviation, the French manufacturer of the Rafale fighter jet, to develop an AI autopilot and a contract with NATO to supply small AI-enabled drones. It also collaborates with the Ukrainian drone manufacturer Skyeton to test the drones in combat conditions.

Shield AI is developing X-BAT - large, AI-controlled vertical takeoff and landing fighter jet, as well as the Hivemind - intelligent platform for military applications. X-BAT has a 12-meter wingspan, a maximum range of 2,000 nautical miles, and a 4G maneuvering load factor. It can carry combat missiles and take off and land from ships, remote islands or rugged forward bases, eliminating dependence on traditional infrastructure. Its AI autopilot can operate in conditions of GPS and communications interference. The company is collaborating with the US Department of Defense to develop next-generation intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems. Its Vidar multi-camera system, with day and night vision cameras and sensors, is installed on reconnaissance drones for edge video analytics and mapping. The company is also developing Tracker C-UAS, an intelligent software solution for the early detection of drones in air defense systems using video from electro-optical and infrared sensors.
