Abstract

This article examines the role of autonomous logistics systems in the modernization of the U.S. export infrastructure and their impact on the efficiency of global supply chains. It explores the potential of using unmanned transport vehicles, automated warehouses, and intelligent management systems to optimize logistics processes, reduce costs, and improve delivery reliability. It investigates how the integration of autonomous solutions contributes to the development of competitive advantages for the U.S. in international trade, as well as how these technologies influence the adaptability of logistics to external disruptions.

Keywords: Autonomous logistics systems, U.S. export, Global supply chains, Unmanned transport, Logistics automation, Supply chain resilience, Competitiveness, Digital infrastructure.
