Starting at the node, addressing the whole logistics journey.

Ground operations, aircraft and onward transport meet at the node. Since a node brings together mechanical equipment, control software and real logistics work, we design these elements together from the beginning.

We look beyond individual equipment to how it works with a node, transport capacity and surrounding operations. Our aim is to build reusable system capabilities that can be adapted to particular platforms and operating conditions.

We consider the movement of cargo from its origin, through the node and onward. Technology should help different equipment and stages work together, rather than shift a problem from one stage to another.

That applies today and over the longer term: we begin with node handling and turnaround, then extend our research to aircraft capacity, energy support and operations management. Each must support the next journey as well as the current one.
