Aerial Port of the Future (APoF)
Abstract
Previously approved and funded JCTD project; now aligned under C&C. Aerial ports and air transportation expeditionary operations are constrained by poorly performing and unlinked Information Technology (IT) systems, outdated command, control, and communications networks, and physical handling of critical classes of supply. To solve these problems, APoF develops, integrates, and tests 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, APoF 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.
