Removing soldiers from vulnerable resupply convoys while sustaining operational availability under heavy electronic jamming.
When GNSS signals are severed, follower trucks lock onto optical fiducial patterns and thermal tail signatures of the preceding vehicle, sustaining convoy formation across 100+ kilometers of uncharted terrain.
Algorithms continuously optimize speed and trailing distances to exploit aerodynamic drafting, reducing fleet diesel consumption by 18% and extending expeditionary reach.
In multi-day field exercises simulating hostile desert transit, autonomous UGVSupply convoys completed 48 resupply runs without a single breakdown or loss of convoy coherence.
