Air Force debuts pilotless cargo flights in the Pacific
Autonomous cargo planes aren’t just a futuristic concept anymore—they’ve already been put to work in the Pacific. During the Air Force’s Resolute Force exercise this summer, small Cessna aircraft flew supply runs between Hawaiian islands, controlled remotely from Guam nearly 4,000 miles away. The trials showed how autonomous flights could ease the burden on larger transport planes and crews, building a more flexible logistics network across the vast Pacific theater. For the Air Force, it’s a glimpse of how tomorrow’s supply lines might operate in real-world conditions.
