Autonomous Systems: Land & Sea: US Army buys the robot resupply jobBackground
Forterra writes the autonomy software that runs on the vehicle platform American Rheinmetall is fielding under Project Sustainment, its US Army logistics-robotics award of 31 July 2026. That software is what turns a hauled chassis into something capable of company-sized element sustainment missions on its own.
Its autonomy stack runs on the Harbinger-supplied vehicle platform, alongside Primordial Labs' Anura natural-language interface, as part of a three-company team under American Rheinmetall's prime contract. Forterra's specific contribution sits between the two: hardware beneath it, a voice interface above it.
