JUST IN: Army Envisions Legions of Autonomous Logistics Robots to Deliver Supplies

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — Army Futures Command’s relatively new Contested Logistics Cross-Functional Team now has a rough technology roadmap to follow and one of its goals is to deploy autonomous robots in the air, land and sea to deliver supplies in war zones.

Rob Watts, the team’s deputy director, said the concept includes autonomous aircraft, trucks and boats that would distribute everything from water, fuel and ammo and hand them off to each other without soldiers needing to intervene.

A small autonomous boat might land on a beach where the supplies are then loaded onto a ground robot, he said at the National Defense Industrial Association’s Tactical Wheeled Vehicles Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
