The Fragility of Logistics
Logistics is the lifeblood of operations, but in contested environments, resupply becomes one of the most vulnerable links. Jamming, ambushes, and infrastructure collapse all threaten traditional convoys and remote-controlled UGVs. A single disruption can stall entire missions.
Range autonomy makes logistics resilient. By enabling uncrewed ground vehicles to navigate independently—even when GPS and comms fail—supplies can continue flowing to the front.
Autonomous Resupply in Action
Level 4B autonomy allows vehicles to plan routes dynamically, avoid obstacles, and adapt in real time without remote input. In a jammed environment, a UGV doesn’t stop and wait for instructions—it reroutes and completes the mission.
Operational use cases include:
- Forward Resupply: Delivering munitions, water, or medical supplies to forward teams under electronic attack.
- Damage-Aware Routing: Navigating collapsed or blocked paths after strikes.
- Shipboard Logistics: Moving supplies autonomously in damaged or compromised vessels.
The Advantage of Reliability
With autonomy, operators can trust that supplies will reach their destination even when remote comms are denied. That reliability is the difference between operational continuity and mission failure.
