Aerial Port of the Future (APoF)
Abstract
Previously-funded JCTD. Aerial ports and air transportation expeditionary operations are constrained by poorly performing and unlinked Information Technology (IT) systems, outdated command, control, and communications (C3) networks, and physical handling of critical classes of supply. To solve these problems, APoF will develop, integrate, and test emerging capabilities at aerial ports by providing a logistics common operating picture for planning, processing, and managing Joint Force cargo; an integrated automated system to manage personnel, cargo, and munitions; and man/unmanned materiel handling equipment to rapidly load sustainment to global air mobility assets. In FY 2022, AP0F leveraged high-impact improvements to IT infrastructure for tactical awareness of the aerial port, completed the spiral for IT infrastructure development, and started two new spirals: one for automated systems with portable computing and another for the integration of autonomy and machine learning with advanced data analytics.
