Military Logistics Drones: The Innovative Solution for Transportation Challenges on the Battlefield

Open Access

Abstract

Military logistics drones play a crucial role in optimizing the supply and support processes of troops in the field. These unmanned aerial vehicles are used to quickly deliver essential supplies, ammunition and equipment to conflict zones or remote locations where access by conventional means is difficult or impossible. At the tactical level, logistics transport drones are capable of executing precise delivery missions, streamlining reaction times and reducing the risks of exposure to ground forces. In addition, they can operate autonomously or semi-autonomously, allowing logistics teams to focus their resources on other operational priorities.

These drones can be used both in support of combat units, providing them with essential equipment in real time, and to support operations to reconstruct critical infrastructure after a military action. Their flexibility and speed make them indispensable in the dynamic context of a modern theater of war, where short delivery times can make the difference between the success and failure of a mission.
