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's mission involves the movement of passengers and cargo across domestic and international domains, leading the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise (JDDE). The Department of War (DoW) is exploring how autonomous systems can enhance future global mobility operations, focusing on safety, efficiency, velocity, and global reach. Work Details This Request for Information (RFI) seeks comprehensive overviews of technologies in autonomous transportation across all modes (air, land, sea, and multi-modal) for both passenger and cargo movements. Respondents should provide detailed descriptions of currently fielded autonomous platforms including payload capacities, operational range, environments, and Technology Readiness Level (TRL). Additionally, information on platforms in research and development should include projected timelines for fielding and anticipated capabilities. The RFI also requests details on scalability from small-scale movements to large capacity lifts, interoperability with existing logistics systems, cybersecurity measures against threats, and regulatory navigation strategies for compliance with domestic and international regulations.
