ABOUT THE UNMANNED CARGO SYSTEM CHALLENGE

How do we deliver supplies to Marines where they need them most? The unmanned cargo system needs to be versatile enough to carry cargo across a variety of terrain from on-base cargo delivery to disaster relief through floods, snow, or debris-laden areas.  The bottom line is making sure the needed supplies arrive on time to the people who need them.
