Abstract

The paper presents the current potential of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in the production of devices, replaceable parts, construction infrastructure, medical materials, etc. The authors reviewed and analyzed the development trends in the use of additive manufacturing in technologically leading armies. The analysis of the available information shows that AM in military applications is mainly used in the production of spare parts for "aged" military equipment and for military equipment operated in conditions far away from the sources of supply with "original" technical material means. The aim of the article is to identify the level of development and application of AM technology in the military domain. The article concludes with the thesis that the introduction of AM technology to the logistic support of armed forces will increase its effectiveness, efficiency and resilience of the logistics supply chain, especially in the field of technical combat service support.
