Forward Logistics on the Transparent Battlefield (Eira X)
Research Project, 2025
– 2026
The project aims to develop and demonstrate an electric, modular platform for autonomous and drone-assisted navigation in complex environments. It combines civilian technology with advanced sensor fusion and human–automation interaction to enable safe logistics, rescue operations, and medical transport in dynamic and high-demand situations.
The project will deliver simulation tools, test data, and a scale demonstrator showing the potential of electric, self-reliant vehicle systems in demanding terrain. Expected impacts include enhanced robustness, sustainability, and resilience in both civilian and defense-related logistics and rescue operations, as well as strengthened Swedish innovation capacity in autonomous systems.
