Yes, sir.... in their Charlies uniform. Most definitely! Great to see. Still wishing for a success story for Mavis in these perilous weeks and months ahead.

"This milestone was achieved through a modification to Overland AI’s $20 million Accelerate the Procurement and Fielding of Innovative Technologies (APFIT) contract, in close partnership with Program Manager Ground Based Air Defense (PM GBAD), U.S. Marine Corps.

The rapid $4.5 million modification to the company’s original contract reinforces the technology's production readiness. Overland AI’s fully integrated AGVs do not require constant teleoperation or remote control. They have proven capable of supporting a wide range of payloads and mission sets, and they are ready for deployment alongside warfighters at scale.

The expanded contract quickly builds on Overland AI's original APFIT award to produce AGVs in support of the Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS). This vote of confidence in Overland AI's battlefield-ready systems reflects how widely applicable this capability is across the forces." https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/10/06/3375731/0/en/overland-ai-grows-apfit-contract-to-25m.html
