Five fully autonomous, mission-proven platforms. With hundreds of platforms fielded to end users, Forterra's autonomy is already at work. At the Association of the United States Army - AUSA, our systems were featured across the show floor including displays within BAE Systems, RTX, Leonardo DRS, and Oshkosh Defense booths, demonstrating how Forterra's capability integrates across mission environments. Forterra was joined by our partner Higher Ground, as we co-hosted Brews and Bots highlighting the aligned missions of two organizations focused of empowering those who serve, both on and off the battlefield. Forterra’s presence at the Association of the United States Army - AUSA was overwhelming, at our own booth and across partner exhibits, showcasing what fielded autonomy looks like today. Real systems. Real operators. Real missions.

"One of the critical uses for autonomous systems is to be that forward, blunting force," Scott Sanders, CGO at Forterra. Forterra’s about to get chaotic with our most recent partnership with CHAOS Industries. One of the DoW’s biggest threats are unmanned aerial systems. Forterra and CHAOS Industries are teaming together to build the next generation of counter-UAS technology Read more, link in comments.

Autonomy demands connection. With the acquisition of goTenna, the leader in resilient, tactical mesh networking, Forterra extends its edge platform integrating compute, communications, and control into a single resilient architecture. This unified foundation enables connected autonomy across platforms, sensors, and operators, maintaining operational continuity when traditional networks fail. Connected autonomy. Mission ready. Check out the exclusive from Tectonic in the comments below.
