Drones dominate the skies. Missiles defend the sea. But when it comes to the ground fight, where terrain is unpredictable and threats are close-range, the U.S. has not achieved autonomy at scale. Ground systems are still manually driven, clunky, and blind. In most tactical exercises that turn dicey, American forces face a capability gap.
Move beyond AirLand.
Scout AI is fielding the first truly autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) platform for the U.S. and its allies. Known as Fury, Scout’s first platform is modular, high-capability, and designed for real-time decision-making under fire. Where other companies bolt AI onto legacy systems, Scout built from scratch. They laced full-stack autonomy, mission-complete coordination, and operator-driven training loops throughout every layer of the system.
More Thoughts From the Team at BVVC:
“Many fullstack systems perform well in sanitized videos, but few function well in the chaos of war. Scout is different. It was born for contact and built by a team that knows the limits of theater and the cost of failure. When we first met Colby and Colin, it wasn’t just the technology—it was the rage against delay, the refusal to build toys while our adversaries arm—that convinced us of their absolute alignment with our fund. They don’t really do pitching. Really, they have been preparing for the next land campaign. And, they know they need help. That urgency is what won us over.
We invest in founders who understand that national defense is not a sandbox. It is sacred. Scout’s team builds with the humility of people who’ve seen the consequences of fragile systems in unforgiving places. Their architecture is not modular for bumper stickers’ sake. It’s modular for violence, for failure recovery, for terrain that eats robots alive. We saw in them what we rarely see: the quiet, fierce discipline to build a system that will never need to be forgiven.
While a good chunk of Silicon Valley founders build castles in the sky, Scout is out in Sunnyvale mastering the ground. And if we’re honest, the ground is where wars are decided. The street corner. The treeline. The trench. We need built tempo, survivability, and platform-to-human covenant. Colby and Colin get it—and that is why they will win.”
“The Army needs robots that understand and contextualize their environments versus just avoiding obstacles and/or getting to waypoints. Fury robots are able to see, understand, and act based on dynamically changing environments. This is military scouting of the future.
With Scout, operators can send waypoints to Fury from anywhere in the world. Scout mission operators have successfully commanded Fury from ~1,000 mi away in restricted terrain
As a matter of national security, it is imperative that we safely and securely develop this technology to stay ahead of our adversaries and preserve peace and prosperity for all.”
