SEATTLE, Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Overland AI, a leader in autonomous ground systems for defense and national security, today announced it has raised $100 million in new funding to scale operations with end users across the U.S. Armed Forces. The equity round was led by 8VC, with continued participation from Point72 Ventures, Ascend Venture Capital, Shasta Ventures, and Overmatch Ventures, as well as new support from Valor Equity Partners and StepStone Group, alongside other institutional investors. The total amount raised includes a $20 million venture debt facility from TriplePoint Capital.

Overland AI's ULTRA UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles) enable autonomous resupply of critical supplies to forward locations following a mass tactical airborne insertion with the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army.

"Demand for ground autonomy has moved decisively from experimentation to operational integration," said Stephanie Bonk, co-founder and president of Overland AI. "This funding allows us to scale alongside the units adopting our technology. We are training warfighters directly and incorporating continuous feedback to ensure our systems perform in real-world conditions, while building the trust required for operational use."

The company's growth in 2025 reflected this shift. Overland AI completed the DARPA RACER program (Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency) last November after three years relentlessly testing and iterating its platform autonomy. Overland AI has transitioned its reliable and resilient capability to end users by significantly expanding operations across a wide range of missions, including counter-UAS, ISR, contested logistics and resupply, breaching, and more. These deployments continue to demonstrate both the versatility of Overland's autonomous platforms and the benefits of close partnership with warfighters to serve their evolving mission-critical needs on the modern battlefield.
