Forterra 的 100 輛自動駕駛全地形車在烏克蘭參戰——主要依靠遠程操控
forterra 在烏克蘭部署了超過 100 輛自動駕駛全地形車，行駛里程達 2500 英里並執行了 52 次傷員撤離任務。這表明雖然地面自動駕駛技術正在實戰中規模化應用，但面對敵方威脅時，人工遠程遙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.
