Overview

• The contract funds purchase, integration, and testing of Reliable Robotics’ autonomy system on a Cessna 208B for uncrewed operations.
• The Reliable Autonomy System is aircraft‑agnostic, manages taxi through landing without a pilot, and is designed for FAA certification with layered redundancy.
• Reliable says the modified Caravan can operate continuously over thousands of miles, a capability suited to long‑range Indo‑Pacific logistics.
• The Air Force cites autonomy as a way to support Agile Combat Employment by enabling dispersed basing, faster resupply, and lower risk to crews.
• In parallel, the company is contributing to the Autonomy‑Government Reference Architecture for ATC integration and planning an adaptation for the KC‑135 Stratotanker.
