Autonomous Defense Logistics provides an integrated, multi‑domain logistics system that delivers supplies across land, air, and sea in contested, infrastructure‑denied environments. Their modular, low‑cost vehicle platforms use commercial off‑the‑shelf components and open‑source flight controllers for rapid deployment, while a mesh‑first communications network offers resilient, edge‑compute connectivity that integrates with existing C2 systems to maintain situational awareness.

Problem
Conventional military supply chains rely on fixed infrastructure and manually operated transport, which become vulnerable or inoperable in contested, infrastructure‑denied environments. The lack of coordinated, multi‑domain autonomous logistics forces operators to rely on separate, single‑domain solutions that increase latency and reduce situational awareness.
Solution
Autonomous Defense Logistics provides an integrated system that coordinates autonomous vehicles across land, air, and sea to deliver supplies in hostile or disconnected settings. The platform uses modular vehicles built from commercial off‑the‑shelf components and open‑source flight controllers, enabling rapid fielding and straightforward maintenance. A mesh‑first communications architecture with edge‑compute nodes maintains network connectivity and data processing even when links are degraded or intermittent. By synchronizing vehicle operations with existing command‑and‑control (C2) systems, the solution delivers unified situational awareness and reduces decision latency for logistics officers. The combined approach enhances resilience of supply lines while minimizing the logistical footprint required for deployment.
Target Audience
Primary customers are military logistics officers and defense acquisition agencies responsible for supply chain operations in contested or infrastructure‑denied theaters.
Features
