SPARK – OverDrive Autonomy for Military Vehicles
SPARK
Turn Any Vehicle Into a Force Multiplier—Fast
SPARK adds OverDrive autonomy onto your existing platforms. SPARK components:
PERCEPTION SENSORS
Eyes on Every Environment
Equipped with LiDAR and stereo cameras, SPARK builds a live, high-fidelity operational picture. It sees in the dark, through dust, and in challenging weather, ensuring flawless autonomy under the toughest conditions.
Compute
The Brain of Battlefield Autonomy
SPARK’s ultra-compact compute module processes real-time sensor data, runs OverDrive, and ensures mission-critical reliability, all in a form factor small enough to disappear into the vehicle.
DRIVE-BY-WIRE
Precision Without a Human at the Wheel
SPARK’s drive-by-wire system enables full autonomy and remote operation without stripping manual control. Designed for seamless, adaptive integration, it installs easily on most vehicles with minimal mechanical modifications.
Vehicle state and platform health sensors
Full-Spectrum Vehicle Awareness
SPARK’s integrated GPS, IMU, and speed encoders track every movement, and work in concert with the perception sensors to provide GPS-denied movement and maneuver. Embedded health sensors provide real-time diagnostics. Whether monitoring drivetrain performance or ensuring system integrity, SPARK keeps the vehicle in peak operational condition.
Auxiliary electrical subsystem
Endurance Through Intelligent Power
SPARK’s auxiliary electrical system efficiently manages onboard power, ensuring autonomy and mission payloads stay operational. With onboard batteries and alternator-driven energy generation, SPARK delivers sustained performance in the most demanding environments.
COMMS INFRASTRUCTURE
Secure and Resilient
SPARK ensures secure, encrypted connectivity with seamless Starlink, tactical mesh, LTE and WiFi all in an auto-PACE configuration. Even in contested spectrum, it relays battlefield intelligence back to command—keeping decision-makers informed while autonomy remains effective, with or without a link.
