The present disclosure is an autonomous robotic cargo system for moving and accurately positioning cargo inside an aircraft or at any other designated location in an austere environment. The system has a chassis coupled to one or more tracks for moving the chassis from a first location to a second location. The chassis is also coupled to one or more forks for loading cargo and unloading the cargo. In addition, the chassis has a laser scanner positioned on the chassis to capture data indicative of the chassis' environment. The system further has a control processor that pre-generates a preliminary pathway for the chassis to travel from the first location to the second location based upon laser scanner data received from the laser scanner. The control processor also controls the one or more forks to pick up cargo and controls the one or more tracks to move the cargo from the first location to the second location.
