AITHREN Knarr
Logistics
Exists (simulation)
The offline logistics copilot: logistic picture, 24 and 48 hour projections, resupply plan across trucks, robots and cargo drones.
For the logistics cells of brigade and battalion command posts, which re-decide resupply every few hours, day and night, from reports that arrive in no particular order.
Knarr reads those reports, builds the logistic picture, projects stock-outs and proposes a plan that someone else approves: two-person rule, no automatic action.
What exists today, in simulation
- Standard-format logistics reports read and the picture built automatically: stock against requirement, days of supply, status now and at +24 / +48 h, stock-out alerts.
- A resupply plan across trucks, ground robots and cargo drones, trading lateness against exposure to threat areas, checked against projected shortfalls.
- Drone and robot missions exported in standard autopilot formats.
- Runs entirely on the customer’s own machine: no cloud, no telemetry, customer-set parameters.
Roadmap
- Smarter planning: multi-stop routes, time windows, automatic re-planning.
- Cargo drones as a full delivery means: payload and range models, landing, winch or drop delivery, landing-zone selection, shuttles, GNSS-denied delivery.
Who it is for
- Logistics staff officers and NCOs (G4 / S4) in a command post.
- The commander and staff, who read the logistic picture without rebuilding it.
Dual uses
- Crisis logistics for civil protection and humanitarian actors: resupply of isolated areas after a disaster.
- Cargo drones and robots to sites cut off from the road network.
