Santa Cruz, CA, Aug 26, 2024 — Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE:JOBY), a next-generation aviation company, today announced that it demonstrated autonomous logistics aircraft operations in an evolving mission environment, in partnership with the U.S. Air Force during the 'Agile Flag 24-3' exercise.
加利福尼亚州圣克鲁兹,2024年8月26日 —— 下一代航空公司Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE:JOBY)今天宣布,在与美国空军合作的“敏捷旗帜24-3”演习中,在不断变化的任务环境中展示了自主物流飞行器的操作。
During the exercise, Joby's team, which includes the autonomy division of Xwing acquired by Joby in June of this year, operated a fully autonomous Cessna 208B Grand Caravan for more than 3,900 miles of flight between military bases and public airports across California and Nevada.
在演习中,Joby公司的团队,包括今年6月被Joby收购的Xwing的自主技术部门,操作了一架完全自主的Cessna 2080亿 Grand Caravan,在加利福尼亚州和内华达州的军事基地和公共机场之间飞行了超过3900英里。
The aircraft autonomously transported essential components to restore the operational readiness of various Air Force assets, flying between 9 locations in a dynamic operational environment. The aircraft, while monitored by a safety pilot, completed a fully autonomous taxi, take-off, and landing at each location during the exercise without requiring on-the-ground infrastructure, including numerous sites that had not been previously visited by the aircraft.
飞机在动态作战环境中飞行了9个地点之间,并自主运送了恢复各个空军装备的关键元件。在演习期间,飞机在不需要地面基础设施的情况下,在每个地点完成了完全自主的滑行、起飞和降落,其中包括许多飞机此前尚未访问过的地点。在演习期间,飞机由一名安全驾驶员监控。
Joby also showcased its ability to remotely supervise the aircraft using a laptop and a satellite communications terminal, both of which are transportable in a single backpack.
Joby还展示了使用笔记本电脑和卫星通信终端远程监控飞机的能力,这两者都可以放在一个背包里便于运输。
Maxime Gariel, Autonomy Lead at Joby, commented: "We were pleased to continue demonstrating the capabilities of our autonomy technology during Agile Flag 24-3, where we completed dozens of fully autonomous aerial missions and showcased an ability to perform rapid resupply. We look forward to continuing to work with the U.S. Air Force as we further develop the suite of technologies that could enable greater automation or full autonomy, first on the Caravan and then on numerous other aircraft types."
Joby的自主技术领导Maxime Gariel评论说:"我们很高兴在敏捷旗帜24-3期间继续展示我们的自主技术的能力,在那里我们完成了数十次完全自主的空中任务,并展示了进行快速补给的能力。我们期待继续与美国空军合作,进一步开发可以实现更大自动化或完全自主的技术组合,首先在Caravan上,然后在其他多种飞机类型上。"
Earlier this year, the Xwing team participated in 'Agile Flag 24-1', a similar exercise, completing more than 2,800 miles of fully autonomous flight and demonstrating the ability to integrate autonomous aircraft into congested airspace as well as night operations, sloped runways, and landing at airports with no infrastructure.
今年早些时候,Xwing团队参加了类似的活动'敏捷旗帜24-1',完成了2800多英里的完全自主飞行,并展示了将自主飞机整合到拥挤空域以及夜间作业、倾斜跑道和无基础设施机场着陆的能力。
"The return on investment for the U.S. Air Force with this technology is significant. By using it to handle smaller cargo, we can preserve cargo aircraft for more critical tasks like transporting large parts or engines," said Col. Max Bremer, Air Mobility Command Special Access Program management officer. "This not only enhances the overall capability of the cargo fleet but also ensures they are used where they are most needed."
"对于美国空军来说,通过这项技术的投资回报是巨大的。通过使用它处理较小的货物,我们可以为运输大零件或发动机等更关键的任务保留货运飞机。"空中机动司令部特殊访问计划管理官Max Bremer上校说。"这不仅增强了货运舰队的整体能力,还确保它们在最需要的地方使用。"
The Caravan's autonomous capabilities are enabled by a suite of technologies developed by the Xwing autonomy team, which joined Joby in June 2024, and the aircraft has completed more than 300 fully autonomous flights since 2020.
Caravan的自主能力由Xwing自主团队开发的一套技术支持,该团队于2024年6月加入Joby,该飞机自2020年以来已完成了300多次完全自主飞行。
Joby's acquisition of Xwing's autonomy division and continued development of autonomy technology demonstrates the Company's commitment to developing next-generation technologies which have the potential to continue to improve safety and widen access to commercial flight. Joby also expects the technology to play an important role in accelerating the execution of existing contract deliverables with the U.S. Department of Defense and expanding the potential for future contracts.
Joby收购Xwing的自主技术部门并继续开发自主技术,表明公司致力于开发下一代技术,这些技术有潜力继续改善安全性并扩大商业飞行的准入范围。Joby还预计该技术在加快履行与美国国防部的现有合同交付任务和扩大未来合同的潜力方面将发挥重要作用。
