Joby and Reliable Robotics demonstrated military use cases for their remotely-piloted Cessna Grand Caravans earlier this month as part of a U.S. Air Force agile combat employment exercise.

Led by the U.S. Air Force’s Afwerx innovation unit, the Autonomy Prime program conducted the Agile Flag 24-3 exercise with eVTOL aircraft developer Joby and autonomous flight technology innovator Reliable Robotics at the Mojave Air and Space Port in California from August 5 to August 9.
