Overland AI Assessed “Awardable” for Department of Defense work in the CDAO’s Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace

VISUAL

Overland AI, a Seattle based startup transforming off-road autonomy for defense, today announced that it has achieved “Awardable” status through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace. The company’s core product, its OverDrive autonomy stack, has been added to the marketplace.

The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is the premier offering of Tradewinds, the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) suite of tools and services designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML), data, and analytics capabilities.

OverDrive enables the transformation of any vehicle into an autonomous cross-country mobility platform, capable of traversing terrain in any condition, at operationally-relevant speeds, and without reliance on detailed maps, communications, or GPS. The technology has been tested in multiple government evaluations through the Defense Innovation Unit’s Ground Vehicle Autonomous Pathways program in partnership with the US Army’s Robotic Combat Vehicle program of record and the DARPA RACER program.  

“We are proud to partner with the CDAO through Tradewinds to offer our best-in-class AI for land systems,” said Overland AI President and Co-Founder, Stephanie Bonk. “With our products available on this marketplace, more national security organizations will get immediate access to AI-powered capabilities that provide the U.S with critical competitive advantages.”  

Overland AI’s autonomy solution is accessible only by government customers on the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace. The company was recognized among a competitive field of applicants to the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace whose solutions demonstrated innovation, scalability, and potential impact on DoD missions. Government customers interested in viewing the video solution can create a Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace account at tradewindAI.com.
