Staff Sgt. Michael Hall, left, and Staff Sgt. Clayton Johnson, fuel specialists from the 9th Reconnaissance Wing, weigh supplies before loading into the autonomous Cessna 208B Grand Caravan from Reliable Robotics, an AFWERX Autonomy Prime partner, during AGILE FLAG 24-3 at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., Aug. 5, 2024. AFWERX Autonomy Prime invited Reliable Robotics to conduct autonomous flight demonstrations during AGILE FLAG and show Air Force leaders how autonomous aviation can contribute to the Agile Combat Employment, or ACE, concept. ACE is a proactive and reactive operational scheme of maneuver executed within threat timelines to increase survivability while generating combat power. (U.S. Air Force photo/Giancarlo Casem)
