# Army Pursues Honolulu Resupply Prototypes

The U.S. Army tested autonomous resupply systems in Honolulu from November 4–13, 2026, and plans to pursue up to six prototype agreements, each worth as much as $2 million. Companies are expected to have roughly 45 days to refine their systems before operational assessments inform which technologies the Army may acquire—potentially from one to three companies—and whether they could be used in other theaters.

- The planned agreements represent a potential **$2 million per-prototype** opportunity; the signal does not identify award dates, a solicitation number, or specific vendors.
- Companies developing autonomous logistics systems should use the expected refinement period to improve prototypes in response to the demonstration and prepare for operational assessment.
- Procurement teams and contractors should note that prototype selections are not yet final acquisition awards: assessment results will help determine which technologies advance and whether deployment could extend beyond the test context.
