Mission-Critical Autonomy for Land and Sea Operations

Mach equips Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with advanced autonomous solutions to meet the demanding needs of modern defense operations. Our technology enhances operational efficiency, minimizes risks to warfighters, and ensures success in contested environments across land and sea. With a proven track record in military applications, Mach’s autonomy stack—featuring cutting-edge perception, navigation, and fleet management—enables Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) to perform reliably in both GPS-enabled and GPS-denied settings. From navigating rugged terrain and open waters to coordinating multi-vehicle missions and delivering real-time Command and Control (C2), our solutions are built for the toughest conditions. Explore how Mach supports key defense applications, backed by extensive experience with military stakeholders:

  • Mach has developed autonomous UGVs that enhance force protection by conducting continuous perimeter monitoring in high-threat areas.
  • These systems leverage advanced radar, stereo vision, and sensor fusion to detect obstacles and potential intrusions in real time, providing 360-degree situational awareness.
  • Designed for rapid deployment, our solutions have been utilized in remote and austere environments—similar to those seen in military bases—where UGVs autonomously patrol pre-set routes or follow dynamic paths, reducing the need for human exposure to risk while maintaining operational readiness.

  • Mach’s autonomy solutions integrate precision navigation and perception systems into UGVs designed for mine-clearing and other high-risk tasks.
  • By combining radar and vision-based obstacle detection with terrain mapping, our technology allows vehicles to safely navigate hazardous areas, identify threats, and execute demining operations with minimal human intervention.
  • This reduces exposure of personnel to danger while improving mission efficiency.

  • We equip UAVs and UGVs with machine vision and radar systems to support SAR operations in challenging environments.
  • These platforms can locate and retrieve personnel in areas with limited visibility or GPS access, using teleoperation for precise C2 when needed.
  • Mach’s solutions have been adapted to operate in austere conditions, providing real-time data to operators and enabling rapid response to time-sensitive missions.

  • Mach’s leader-follower technology allows fleets of UGVs and UAVs to execute synchronized missions, such as convoy operations or area coverage tasks.
  • Integrated with our cloud-based fleet management platform, Mach Ops, operators gain real-time visibility into vehicle status, mission progress, and environmental conditions.
  • This capability has been applied in scenarios requiring distributed operations, ensuring seamless coordination across multiple platforms in dynamic battlefield settings.

  • Enabling USVs for threat detection and surveying allows for detailed mapping and data collection in coastal and open-water environments, supporting naval operations, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure planning and boundary enforcement.
  • Equipped with advanced navigation and perception systems, our autonomous vessels operate independently or in coordinated fleets,delivering precise bathymetric data.
  • Mach also can enable complete COLREG compliant autonomous navigation for international waterways.

Proven Performance Across Defense Scenarios

Mach’s solutions are built on decades of experience deploying autonomous systems for military and government use. We’ve supported missions requiring UGVs to patrol expansive areas autonomously, similar to applications seen in overseas military bases, where vehicles operate day and night to secure perimeters and relay critical data to operators. In the maritime domain, our work with the US Navy and NOAA has advanced the use of autonomous vessels for surveillance and surveying, providing scalable solutions that mirror the needs of defense and scientific stakeholders.

Our partnerships with OEMs include integrating autonomy into diverse platforms—like ruggedized vehicles for logistics, energy storage systems, or maritime vessels—enhancing their ability to self-navigate, follow pre-recorded routes, or collect mission-critical data. Our modular approach ensures flexibility, allowing OEMs to customize solutions for specific operational needs, whether it’s adapting to low-visibility environments with radar-based perception, scaling systems for high-speed operations, or deploying fleets for maritime data collection.

Rigorous on-site testing and validation—conducted in collaboration with military and government stakeholders—guarantees that our technology meets the stringent requirements of defense and maritime applications, from structured indoor settings to unstructured outdoor terrains and open-water environments.
