SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Scout AI Inc. (“Scout”) today announced it has been awarded a major contract under the U.S. Army’s Unmanned Systems (UxS) initiative, a large Army effort to advance ground autonomy. Under the contract, Scout will integrate its autonomy platform, Fury, onto Army furnished Infantry Squad Vehicles (ISV’s), demonstrating the full range of UxS autonomy requirements. The program spans a 16-month performance period, after which the Army may procure units up to $150 million in contract value. Scout applauds the Army’s bold leadership in making UxS the first program to rapidly field a new generation of AI-driven, mission-ready ground autonomy solutions.
At the core of Scout’s solution is Fury, a multi-domain foundation model for defense robots. Fury is a fully learned, camera-only autonomy system that combines Vision-Language-Action (VLA) reasoning with high-rate commercial off-the-shelf hardware. Unlike legacy, hand-engineered autonomy stacks, Fury delivers human-like judgment in real time while maintaining a low-cost, low-signature hardware profile.
“Fury is modeled on the same end-to-end learning approach that powers the most widely deployed and cost-effective autonomy systems in the world,” said Colby Adcock, Scout AI Co-Founder and CEO. “This award demonstrates the Army’s intent to leapfrog legacy automation systems and incorporate AI.”
For the UxS program, Scout is collaborating exclusively with Textron Systems Corporation, who will lead vehicle integration. Scout is also partnering with Edge Case Research, who will provide independent safety case validation, ensuring Fury meets Army safety requirements for fielding autonomy.
