California-based Joby Aviation has taken its Superpilot autonomous flight system through a “landmark” demonstration at the Resolute Force Pacific exercise.
Integrated into a Cessna Caravan 208, the tech logged more than 7,000 miles (11,265 kilometers) and 43 hours of autonomous operations across six sorties.
This included a 2,416-mile (3,889-kilometer) flight lasting 14 hours and a round trip ferry flight that covered 4,925 miles (7,927 kilometers). The Superpilot reportedly handled crossings, landings, and taxi operations during these sorties.
