Overland AI is giving the US Marine Corps’ ROGUE-Fires platform a significant boost for expeditionary operations.
In a recent demonstration, the company integrated its OverDrive autonomy stack with the SPARK sensor and compute kit on the autonomous tactical vehicle, creating a unified hardware-software system.
The setup enabled the ROGUE-Fires to operate independently in environments without stable communications or GPS support.
It also ran autonomously for several hours across mixed terrain without human intervention.
Overland AI further demonstrated the platform’s ability to operate alongside other systems, including in manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) missions.
“Our work with the ROGUE-Fires platform reinforces that Overland’s autonomy is capable of expeditionary operations inside the weapons engagement zone,” said Tim Francis, director of business development at Overland AI.
“This technology is built to handle the contested radio frequency and climate demands of littoral missions, and we are proud to support the US Marine Corps.”
ROGUE-Fires at a Glance
Short for Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary Fires, ROGUE-Fires is a reconfigurable unmanned ground vehicle designed to deliver long-range, high-impact fire support in modern combat environments.
It can launch multiple rockets in rapid succession and reportedly offers superior versatility for dynamic battlefield scenarios.
The platform is based on Oshkosh’s proprietary Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, providing the payload capacity and mobility needed for launch operations.
Operators can control the ROGUE-Fires via remote control or leader-follower modes.
