Key Takeaways
- Unmanned systems reduce risks to human operators.
- They can extend logistics lines of communication in areas previously denied.
- Autonomous systems enable low signature resilient resupply while mitigating risk to humans.
Unmanned Systems Reshape Logistics in Contested Environments
Autonomous and Unmanned Systems Enhance Operational Reach and Tempo
Breaking Defense spoke with Tim Saffold, Vice President, Autonomous and Unmanned Systems, Amentum, about the role of autonomous and unmanned systems in modern logistics. The use of unmanned systems can increase or expand reach, reduce risk to personnel, and enable more distributed, resilient operations. Logistics in contested environments require precise and integrated air, land, and sea operations. Ongoing initiatives focus on integrating multi-domain systems, leveraging technologies like artificial intelligence with other intelligence and logistics enterprise systems for real-time logistics, situational awareness, predictive supply chain resilience and redundancy across the joint logistics enterprise.
