Aerial Port of the Future (APoF)
Abstract
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expeditionary operations are constrained by poorly performing and unlinked Information Technology (IT) systems, outdated command, control, and communications networks, and physical handling of critical classes of supply.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, Aerial Port of the Future (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 2023, APoF completed a spiral for automated systems with portable computing, advanced the spiral for the integration of autonomy and machine learning with advanced data analytics, and conducted technical and limited operational demonstrations.
