Air Field in a Box

Abstract

This project demonstrated autonomous multiple UAS delivery, including extra-small variants that have sufficient capacity and scalability to satisfy the demands of future distributed expeditionary operations. The objective of this project is to revolutionize logistics as necessary for survival in a decentralized battle space defined in Expeditionary Advance Base Operations, Distributed Lethality, and the Multi-Domain Battle concepts. Using FY 2018 funding, Air Field in a Box will complete a flight demonstration and user assessment in FY 2019. The resulting prototype demonstrates a concept that will transition into a full scale multi-UAS delivery system to be employed from the universal dimensions of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) containers. The ISO’s intermodal and global reach will allow for standardized distribution through global supply chains and rugged field readiness no other unit or container offers.
