The product
Forterra (formerly Robotic Research) develops the AutoDrive autonomy platform that drives third-party vehicles - from small UGVs to 80-ton industrial tractors - in GPS-denied, off-road environments. Primary focus is defense ground autonomy, with a growing commercial industrial line.
The thesis
The US ground autonomy capability for off-road/contested environments has historically been fragmented and DARPA-program driven. Forterra is consolidating it into a production-grade stack with real DoD primes contracts (ROGUE Fires, GEARS, breaching).
