Volatilities in global weather and geo-political climate are increasing the frequency and magnitude of natural and manmade disasters.

The highly dynamic environments resulting from debris and infrastructure destruction creates a significant challenge in moving supplies into and survivors out of disaster zones. The Navy and Marine Corps seek to develop and demonstrate rapid, distributed, on-demand manufacturing of unmanned systems capable of supporting multiple payloads dependent on the situation
