Autonomous Technology Supports Operational Reach And Tempo
Unmanned systems are becoming increasingly important in maintaining operational reach and tempo in contested environments, according to Tim Saffold, Vice President of Autonomous and Unmanned Systems at Amentum. In an interview with Breaking Defense, Saffold discussed the role of autonomous and unmanned systems in modern logistics, highlighting their ability to reduce risk to personnel, enable more distributed operations, and extend logistics lines of communication. The use of unmanned systems in logistics is part of the Pentagon’s contested logistics initiatives, which aim to enable resilient and distributed resupply in denied environments.
