The xTech|Edge: Ground Strike program is a U.S. Army prize competition and technology evaluation initiative designed to identify, assess, and accelerate emerging autonomous UGV capabilities for future battlefield integration. Throughout the event, Soldiers provided user feedback, supported scenario-based trials, and helped evaluate how next‑generation robotic platforms can enhance mobility, survivability, and lethality for ground forces.
