Quick Summary
The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to identify innovative autonomous transportation capabilities for global operations. This RFI seeks commercial solutions, technologies, and developmental roadmaps across all modes (air, land, sea, multi-modal) for both passenger and cargo movements. Responses are due May 26, 2026.
Purpose & Background
USTRANSCOM manages globally integrated mobility operations and requires efficient movement of passengers and cargo. The RFI aims to understand how autonomous technologies can enhance safety, efficiency, velocity, and global reach. This is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP).
Information Requested
Respondents should provide comprehensive overviews of their technologies, structured by the following categories:
- Company Profile: Organization details, size, primary domain, and commercial experience with autonomous logistics.
- Current Autonomous Capabilities: Detailed descriptions of fielded autonomous platforms, including payload, range, operating environments, and Technology Readiness Level (TRL).
- Developmental Roadmap: Overview of platforms in research and development, with projected timelines.
- Scalability & Flexibility: How solutions scale from small to large movements and handle dynamic routing/cargo.
- Interoperability: Integration with existing logistics nodes, material handling equipment, and command/control networks.
- Cybersecurity & Resilience: Approach to securing data links, navigation, and control mechanisms.
- Regulatory Navigation: Strategies for domestic and international regulatory compliance.
