The University of Washington Office of Sponsored Programs Division has been awarded a $7.385 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop robotic autonomy technologies for unmanned ground vehicles through the Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency program. The contract runs from July 2021 through November 2023 to support the prime contractor's work on the RACER program, which seeks to enable autonomous speeds over 5 meters/second in complex terrain and 10 meters/second in open terrain. Overland AI Inc. was selected as a subcontractor to assist with aggressive, resilient high-speed navigation capabilities in off-road environments. The contract has no set-aside designation and supports DARPA's ongoing research to advance autonomous capabilities for unmanned systems.
