Forterra 的 100 辆自动驾驶全地形车在乌克兰参战——主要依靠远程操控
forterra 在乌克兰部署了超过 100 辆自动驾驶全地形车，行驶里程达 2500 英里并执行了 52 次伤员撤离任务。这表明虽然地面自动驾驶技术正在实战中规模化应用，但面对敌方威胁时，人工远程遥控仍是必不可少的手段。
forterra, backed by over $500 million in venture funding, has successfully operated its lancer autonomous ground vehicles (ugvs) in ukraine for nine months, carrying 777,440 pounds of cargo and driving 2,500 miles. the vehicles, modified with starlink and capable of hauling 750 kilograms, address critical logistics limitations of smaller, battery-powered ukrainian ugs. despite possessing the hardware for autonomous navigation, combat realities have forced a reliance on teleoperation, as current software cannot identify or react to unexpected enemy fire and complex battlefield variables. this real-world combat data is helping forterra improve its electronic warfare resilience and remote update capabilities, accelerating the development of rugged autonomous systems for the us military.
