The U.S. Army has tested the Overland AI ULTRA Fully Autonomous Tactical Vehicle prototype during exercise Agile Spirit 25 at the Vaziani Training Area in Georgia on 29 July 2025. The trial aims to improve supply delivery efficiency, reduce costs, and crucially, protect soldiers’ lives. Agile Spirit 25 marks the 12th iteration of the biennial multinational exercise, designed to enhance readiness and cooperation among allied forces. “Agile Spirit 25 is… designed to enhance readiness, interoperability and combined operational capabilities, which promotes our countries’ shared goal of security and stability in the Black Sea Region,” said Col. Will Cox, Co-Exercise Director. Cox also noted that the U.S. Army Europe and Africa has prioritised innovation and experimentation to boost operational safety. As part of this drive, the Army is evaluating multiple autonomous vehicle providers to integrate advanced technologies into military operations. The ULTRA prototype tested during the exercise is fully autonomous and powered by artificial intelligence. “We’re trying to keep soldiers off the front lines and keep our warfighters safe,” said Adam Ungar, Senior Program Manager at Overland AI. Ungar emphasised the life-saving potential of deploying autonomous vehicles in dangerous zones. He said such systems offer “immeasurable” value by replacing human presence in high-risk scenarios.
