The US Army is currently evaluating a next-generation unmanned aerial system designed to revolutionize frontline logistics and combat support operations.
The drone, known as the MULE (Multi-Mission, Utility, Logistics & Expedition), is a cutting-edge vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) platform engineered to operate in contested logistical environments—both on land and at sea. The system aims to enhance operational reach, reduce soldier exposure, and streamline supply delivery in high-risk areas.
One of MULE’s standout features is its resilience in GPS-denied environments. It comes equipped with an integrated inertial navigation system, allowing it to continue missions even when satellite signals are disrupted. Additionally, its multi-constellation GPS module is hardened against spoofing and jamming attempts, providing robust navigation support during electronic warfare scenarios.
