Forterra (rebranded from Robotic Research in 2024) builds hardware and software platforms for autonomous, self-driving land systems and coordinated robotic swarms for defense and industrial customers. It holds over 100 patents and has won contracts including the DoD's first ground-autonomy production award (ROGUE Fires, USMC) and an Army autonomous-breaching systems contract, partnering with Volvo Defence, Oshkosh Defence and Raytheon. In November 2025 it closed a $238M Series C, reaching unicorn status (~$1B+ valuation). No website or LinkedIn was provided for this row; identification relies on 'Forterra' plus the task's stated venture-backed/private constraint, which rules out the unrelated, publicly-traded building-products company also named Forterra Inc.
