Self-Guided Tour of “PEGASYS” (Predictive Energy Guidance and Autonomous Supply System) – prototyping
[Navigate to Dashboard Tab] – The PEGASYS dashboard provides commanders with a real-time overview of the entire autonomous fleet’s fuel status. As you can see, we’re currently tracking 20 vehicles of various mission types, with 16 operational and 4 in maintenance.
Our system is achieving 87% fuel efficiency across the fleet, which represents an 18% improvement since implementation. We’re actively monitoring for critical situations, with 2 high-priority alerts currently requiring attention – including a jet at critically low fuel levels during an active mission.
This area displays fuel consumption trends across vehicle types. Our autonomous jets consume the largest portion, as expected, but our AI constantly optimizes their routes to maximize efficiency.
Below, you can see how weather conditions affect fuel consumption. In extreme conditions, we see up to a 35% increase in consumption. PEGASYS factors this into mission planning, calculating optimal routes and refueling schedules based on upcoming weather forecasts.
[Click on Fleet Status Tab] – In the Fleet Status section, commanders gain detailed visibility into fleet status.
You can see vehicle inventory with real-time status for each asset. Drone_001 is at 32% fuel and Jet_003 scheduled for maintenance on March 15th. Strike_003 is at 35% – still operational but will need refueling before its next extended mission.
Most critically, Jet_001 is at only 15% fuel level while on an active mission. PEGASYS has already identified this and issued an alert, calculating the optimal refueling point along its mission path to prevent mission failure.
[Click on Logistics Tab] – The Logistics module is where PEGASYS truly differentiates itself.
We continuously monitor supply centers and refuel points across the theater of operations. Base Alpha is currently at 72% capacity, while Base Beta maintains higher reserves at 83%.
For frontline operations, we track individual refuel points. Alpha Base Main is at 80% capacity, strategically positioned to support current missions.
The delivery scheduling system is fully automated. PEGASYS has identified optimal delivery times and routes based on:
Delivery Optimization:
- Monitors current fuel levels at all bases
- Calculates consumption rates based on mission types
- Adjusts for weather impact on consumption
- Determines optimal delivery timing based on multiple factors
- Uses network optimization for route planning
Price Forecasting:
- Uses machine learning to predict future prices
- Considers historical price data, seasonal patterns, and weather
- Incorporates demand patterns and external factors
- Provides confidence intervals for predictions
Route Optimization:
- Uses graph theory for route planning
- Considers distance, weather impact, and base priorities
- Optimizes for multiple deliveries simultaneously
- Handles both fixed bases and mobile units
Key Features:
- Real-time monitoring of all base levels
- Weather impact integration
- Mission requirement consideration
- Threat assessment incorporation
- Price optimization for purchasing
Our price forecasting algorithm predicts fuel price fluctuations months in advance, allowing for strategic purchasing when prices are projected to dip, resulting in significant cost savings.
[Click on Analytics Tab] – “The Analytics dashboard reveals PEGASYS’s predictive intelligence. We’ve analyzed efficiency by mission type, revealing that transport missions achieve 91% efficiency while combat missions run at 68% due to their unpredictable nature.
Weather impact analysis shows clear efficiency degradation as conditions worsen. In snow conditions, efficiency drops 25% – information PEGASYS uses to adjust mission parameters and fuel requirements automatically.
Our cost-saving opportunities highlight where PEGASYS delivers value. Route optimization alone provides 12.8% savings and is 68% implemented across operations. Predictive maintenance, currently at 45% implementation, reduces costly breakdowns and associated logistics disruptions.
Most importantly, our ROI analysis demonstrates PEGASYS’s financial impact. In this demo scenario with an implementation cost of $450,000, we achieve $168,000 in annual savings, resulting in a 2.7-year payback period and $840,000 in returns over five years – not including the operational advantages of uninterrupted autonomous vehicle operations.
PEGASYS transforms fuel logistics for autonomous defense systems by:
- Providing real-time monitoring across your entire fleet
- Predicting maintenance and consumption needs before they become critical
- Optimizing delivery schedules based on mission requirements
- Adapting to weather and operational conditions
- Delivering measurable cost savings with rapid ROI
For companies developing cutting-edge autonomous systems, PEGASYS ensures your platforms maintain maximum operational readiness through intelligent fuel logistics management.
We’re currently in the prototyping phase and seeking partners to help refine this technology for specific defense applications. We welcome the opportunity to discuss how PEGASYS could be integrated with your autonomous systems to create a comprehensive solution for defense clients.
