Innovative Autonomous Transportation Capabilities for Global Operations

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is conducting market research to identify innovative autonomous transportation capabilities for global operations. USTRANSCOM leads the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise (JDDE), which requires the movement of passengers and cargo across domestic and international domains. The Department of War (DoW) is exploring how autonomous systems can enhance future global mobility operations, focusing on integrating these technologies to improve safety, efficiency, velocity, and global reach. Work Details This Request for Information (RFI) seeks comprehensive overviews of commercial capabilities in autonomous transportation across all modes (air, land, sea, and multi-modal) for both passenger and cargo movements. Respondents are encouraged to provide detailed descriptions of: 1. Company Profile: Organization name, size, primary domain, and summary of experience with autonomous logistics. 2. Current Autonomous Capabilities: Detailed descriptions of fielded platforms including payload capacities, operational range, environments, and Technology Readiness Level (TRL). 3. Developmental Roadmap: Overview of platforms in research and development with projected timelines for fielding and expected milestones over the next 3 to 10 years. 4. Scalability & Flexibility: How solutions scale from small to large movements and handle dynamic routing. 5. Interoperability: Integration with existing logistics nodes and material handling equipment. 6. Cybersecurity & Resilience: Approaches to securing data links against cyber threats in contested environments. 7. Regulatory Navigation: Strategies for compliance with domestic and international regulations for unmanned operations.
