Reliable Robotics Accomplishes Autonomous Cargo Deliveries

U.S. Air Force Tests Capabilities And Efficiencies

Reliable Robotics announced it completed a series of automated cargo delivery missions for the U.S. Air Force in Nevada and California. Working together with the Air Combat Command, the company demonstrated the aircraft capabilities during the week-long Agile Flag 24-3 exercise transporting cargo between airports and military bases.

The exercise intended to simulate the Indo-Pacific region as it demanded agility, readiness, and multi-domain ops. A Cessna 208B Caravan conducted automated flights which included autotaxi, autotakeoff, enroute navigation, autolanding. An onboard pilot monitored all systems and maneuvers during the flight, which was controlled by a remote Reliable pilot. During the exercise lasting a week, Reliable flew to eight locations while transporting essential cargo. All flights were on-demand without the need for any additional infrastructure for automated flight, demonstrating the flexibility and utility of automation.

Colonel Max Bremer, Mobility COE Senior Advisor, Chief of Special Programs Division, Air Mobility Command said, “The Air Force has a unique opportunity to redefine efficiency through autonomous operations, which can enable persistent maneuver in contested environments and simultaneous cargo delivery instead of our current sequential system. Autonomy in small platforms reduces risk and opens up the ability to land in more places including damaged runways or unimproved surfaces. Military exercises like Agile Flag provide a venue for us to more closely evaluate how technologies like autonomous systems operate in real missions.”

Dr. David O’Brien, Major General (Ret.), and Senior Vice President of Government Solutions at Reliable Robotics said, “We are proud to participate in military exercises. Agile Flag provided us the opportunity to show how our autonomous flight system benefits defense missions and to demonstrate timely mission readiness. We remain committed to serve and support the U.S. Air Force and other branches of our nation’s military.”
