Abstract
The main focus of this paper is the capabilities of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles as a military logistic support in conflicts areas. The conducted research addresses the problems of traditional military delivery methods. Next, the problem of using UAVs only for civilian purposes is considered. The paper begins with short elucidation of logistic support and further provides the classification of logistic materials and discusses five categories of military equipment from the logistics point of view. Next, the paper discusses the characteristics of the parameters and properties of the chosen existing UAVs that are used for the delivery of materials. Consequently, a comparison of the UAVs is carried out, and new technologies for logistic transport are presented. This paper is concluded with the claim that it is necessary to modernize the process of logistic support in the military.
Highlights
Military logistic support is a component of organizing and realizing supply development
The direction of the research is determined by the following hypothesis: The enhancement of the existing and developing new Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) logistic systems is beneficial for handling military conflicts
To make a final decision as to which group of UAVs should be chosen for logistics, it is important to juxtapose the types of UAVs (Table 1) with the types of transported materials in accordance with military categorization
Summary
Military logistic support is a component of organizing and realizing supply development. The development of logistic supply management and logistic support in the case of armed conflicts should be based on well-worked out and reliable lines of logistic support, i.e. technological and transport support services. These factors are necessary to ensure the successful outcome of any military mission. The items can be delivered by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) This new method of logistic support, i.e., with the use of UAVs, has not been yet fully employed by both, the military and civilian transport providers. The direction of the research is determined by the following hypothesis: The enhancement of the existing and developing new UAVs logistic systems is beneficial for handling military conflicts
