Company Overview

Forterra provides AutoDrive, an autonomous driving system for military ground vehicles that operates in GPS-denied environments and challenging terrain. The company is the only defense-focused ground vehicle autonomy provider using a proprietary software platform, and is present across every current DoD ground vehicle autonomy program.

Investment Rationale

Forterra is the only provider of ground vehicle autonomy solutions for defense that leverages a proprietary software platform, rather than government off-the-shelf software. Forterra developed AutoDrive, which integrates hardware and software to offer a range of capabilities from teleoperation to fully autonomous on-road and off-road functionality. It is designed for defense and challenging off-road environments, including GPS-denied areas, and complies with DoD acquisition regulations. Forterra is the sole-source provider for the DoD's first autonomous ground vehicle program of record, which is currently scaling production.
