Forterra develops hardware, edge-computing platforms, and an autonomous software stack that allow military and logistics fleets to move, sense, and act without human intervention. Its technology focus spans vehicle automation, command-and-control software, and communications modules, recently strengthened through the acquisition of mobile mesh-network company goTenna. The company has secured several high-profile U.S. Department of Defense awards, including the first ground-autonomy production contract for ROGUE Fires with the Marine Corps, a $114 million Army contract for autonomous breaching systems, Phase II of the Army’s GEARS program, and a $4.8 million Army UxS contract. Forterra is also partnering with Volvo Defense, BAE Systems, CHAOS Industries, and RTX’s Raytheon to integrate its systems across the broader defense ecosystem. With the new capital, Forterra plans to accelerate R&D in communications and C2 capabilities and scale production of its edge-computing platforms. The company’s growing roster of contracts and partnerships highlights increasing demand for interoperable autonomy in complex mission environments.
