OVERLAND AI

Revolutionizing autonomous vehicle control.

Challenge
Design a specialized user interface for a defense startup's pioneering autonomous tactical vehicle.

Approach
An intuitive, user-friendly UI was delivered in record time through a series of sprints, starting with research and rapid prototyping to understand user needs and validate concepts. Seamlessly integrated into Overland’s tech stack, the UI was rigorously tested on live vehicles, ensuring flawless functionality in real-world conditions.

Outcome
The new UI became a critical tool for Overland AI's product demonstrations, helping them secure customer support and funding. By advancing their autonomous vehicle technology, the UI positioned Overland for growth and success in the defense industry.

BOEING DEFENSE, SPACE & SECURITY

Transforming surveillance aircraft.

Challenge
Reimagine the interior of surveillance aircraft to enhance crew effectiveness for Boeing and the U.S. Air Force.

Approach
For warfighters spending hours airborne, having adaptable, mission-ready tools is essential. Through real-time feedback in our Advanced Visualization Lab, we developed a high-fidelity VR model and a full-scale mockup. The result? Flexible mission stations and consoles that adjust to the demands of any scenario, ensuring warfighters are equipped for success every step of the way.

Outcome
The design informed future mission console development across multiple military platforms, receiving strong approval from officials and U.S. Congress members when showcased in Washington, D.C. The overwhelmingly positive feedback solidified Boeing derivatives as top-tier military aircraft platforms, ensuring future-ready solutions for critical missions.

BAE SYSTEMS

Modernizing battlefield GPS systems.

Challenge
Redesign a legacy battlefield GPS device to meet the evolving needs of warfighters.

Approach
In collaboration with BAE Systems and the US military, active-duty and veteran warfighters were engaged in identifying pain points and unmet needs. Through demo days and hands-on observations of current device usage, feedback was incorporated into iterative prototypes, ensuring solutions directly address the real challenges that warfighters face.

Outcome
Over a multi-year engagement, we developed prototypes at various stages to refine concepts and created a comprehensive design system that exceeded basic requirements, addressing warfighters' critical needs. Final deliverables included fully documented hardware and software systems, along with advanced GUI development.
