Agventure Tech INC
Overview
We provide light duty autonomous utility vehicles for quick deploy perimeter defense, casualty med evac, and supply distribution.
Problem
Brigade Support Battalions rely on warfighters to provide transport, security, and logistics support, creating operational strain across MOS roles.
Solution
AUV-1 delivers remote-controlled and autonomous capabilities to transport casualties to extraction points, carry supplies to forward operations, and establish perimeter defense.
Field Validation
Pre-field. We have completed the design and build phases of our prototype.
Technology Maturity
We are currently at TRL 5.
Strategic Advantage
AUV-1 GVW: 2,500 lbs Power: 20 kWh Payload: 1,000 lb payload Range: 8 hours / 200 miles. IP: integrates 80% off-the-shelf, fully CAN-enabled components into a cloud-connected, agile, multipurpose, price point: 250k
Go-To-Market Access
Our primary commercial focus has been agriculture.
Dual-Use Potential
AUV-1 supports med evac, perimeter defense, supply transport.

User-Critical Problem
Warfighters are forced to split focus between mission-critical roles and logistics. AUV-1 restores focus to core MOS functions—saving lives, resupplying units, and protecting perimeters—enhancing force multiplication with fewer assets.
