Overview
- Kodiak AI will integrate its Kodiak Driver autonomous system into Joint Light Tactical Vehicles used for the Marine Corps’ ROGUE‑Fires platform.
- ROGUE‑Fires pairs a JLTV chassis with the NMESIS launcher that carries two Naval Strike Missiles for ground‑based anti‑ship missions.
- Kodiak did not disclose the contract value, which follows prior Marine investment in Forterra’s AutoDrive integration reported at $30 million.
- Congress appropriated $59 million for ROGUE‑Fires autonomy kits in fiscal 2026, exceeding the Pentagon’s request.
- Testing will validate Kodiak’s system in military‑relevant terrain and challenging conditions, leveraging experience from a prior $30 million Army RCV contract that has since been restructured.
