    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.
