Unmanned systems need manufacturing DNA — not just computer science.

The problem

Autonomous vehicle development is dominated by software companies that treat hardware as an afterthought. Nobody builds the bridge between AI training, sensor data, and CMMC-compliant sovereign infrastructure.

TACOM and the DoD are seeking autonomous ground vehicle capabilities from domestic manufacturers. The technology is mature. What’s missing is a development pipeline that connects to sovereign data infrastructure.

Every autonomous vehicle generates massive telemetry that needs sovereign storage and processing. Today that data goes to cloud services with no sovereignty guarantee.

The autonomous vehicle problem isn’t just a driving problem. It’s a data sovereignty, sensor integration, and manufacturing intelligence problem — exactly where our ecosystem operates.

The answer: RigidDrive Autonomous

RigidDrive Autonomous is a AI-powered AGV platform starting as an RC car prototype and scaling to industrial unmanned systems.

All training data stores to RigidVault. All sensor data processes through RigidSense. AI training runs on RigidAI infrastructure. The autonomous vehicle is the manufacturing ecosystem driving around.

The TACOM angle: 5 miles from the Detroit Arsenal, CMMC-compliant pipeline, sovereign AI, domestic manufacturing. We’re not Silicon Valley software. We’re a Michigan manufacturer that builds autonomous systems.

Ecosystem connection: RigidVault stores training data. RigidSense provides sensor architecture. RigidAI processes learning. RigidPulse provides motion control expertise. RigidTrust ensures sovereignty.
