U.S. Air Force partners with Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation to deliver the Mobile Autonomous Aircraft Platform for Sustainment (MAAPS) robot, to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, June 8, 2023. The robot was funded through the Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office under a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract. “It's the first of the MAAPS systems, and we will continue to collaborate and interface with the Air Force and receive feedback to further roll this out at other bases," said Justin Bressi, business development manager for Sarcos. “If we could utilize this on top of the aircraft to visually do an inspection up there we could possibly be saving months of not knowing what's going on," said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Michael Capelle, maintenance engineering superintendent with the 62d Maintenance Squadron. (U.S. Air Force video by Senior Airman Colleen Anthony) More
