Autonomous aircraft capabilities showcased by AFWERX, Joby at Department-Level Exercise

Joby Aviation’s Cessna 208B Grand Caravan lands autonomously at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, during the Department-Level Exercise, July 27, 2025. AFWERX, the innovation arm of the Department of the Air Force and a directorate within the Air Force Research Laboratory, awarded Small Business Innovation Research Phase II and III contracts to support flight trials of Joby’s autonomous technology on a modified commercial Cessna 208B Grand Caravan. The aircraft can autonomously taxi, take off, fly to a destination and land — while also receiving updated flight plans mid-mission and landing at unfamiliar airfields using onboard sensors and external imagery.

Autonomous aircraft capabilities showcased by AFWERX, Joby at Department-Level Exercise

Craig Milliard, Joby flight test lead, briefs Lt. Gen. Laura Lenderman, Pacific Air Forces deputy commander, on the autonomous capabilities of the Joby Aviation Cessna 208B Grand Caravan during the Department-Level Exercise at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, July 28, 2025. AFWERX, the innovation arm of the Department of the Air Force and a directorate within the Air Force Research Laboratory, invited Joby to demonstrate how autonomous aviation can support Agile Combat Employment and enhance logistics in contested environments. The DLE series includes all branches of the Department of Defense, along with allies and partners, involving more than 400 joint and coalition aircraft and over 12,000 personnel at more than 50 locations spanning 3,000 miles.

Autonomy Proving Ground

The Osprey MK-III waits to take off Aug. 15, 2025 at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. The unmanned aerial system made its first flight test with a third-party developer’s alternative navigation software connected. The testing examines the feasibility of providing an aircraft or weapon with its own internal GPS estimation tools instead of using external sources. (U.S. Air Force photo by Samuel King Jr.)
