Cyborg selected as finalist for US Army xTech|Edge Strike: Ground

Cyborg was selected for test and evaluation of its platform at the U.S. Army’s xTech|Edge Strike: Ground competition, an Army FUZE xTech initiative focused on identifying mature autonomous ground systems that can deliver real capability at the tactical edge.

The platform was selected from roughly 150 applicants as one of 15 invited to participate in the live experimentation event. The competition brought technology developers together with U.S. Army Soldiers at U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria, Germany where systems were put through realistic mission scenarios and evaluated directly by the people expected to use them in the field.

The Army’s evaluation focused on practical questions: how these systems perform in real terrain, how easily Soldiers can employ them, and how they can support missions such as moving supplies, casualty evacuation and other tasks that reduce Soldier exposure.

The evaluation doesn’t end with the competition. Cyborg left our equipment behind with the squadron for further evaluation, giving Soldiers more time with the platform and providing us with an opportunity to gather deeper operational feedback.

That is exactly where we want our technology to be: in the field, in the hands of warfighters, and being tested against real operational requirements.
