About SPARK
SPARK packages perception sensors, compute, drive-by-wire controls, vehicle-state monitoring, auxiliary power and communications into an autonomy upfit for existing ground vehicles. The kit connects OverDrive directly to steering, braking and propulsion while retaining the host vehicle’s mobility and payload systems.
Vehicle-specific engineering adapts the common architecture to each platform’s mechanical and electronic interfaces. Installed vehicles gain off-road autonomous navigation, mission execution and operation under degraded GPS or communications. SPARK supports automation of vehicles already held in military inventories.
