2025 Aerospace Replenishment: The Insidious Force Multiplier

Abstract

Studies examining the future of airpower and space power (such as New World Vistas and SPACECAST 2020) generally have not revealed much in the area of replenishment. indeed there is a noticeable tendency to assume it away with the stated requirement or desire that aircraft should have longer range and loiter capabilities. Even if this were possible, replenishment should be better exploited to mitigate the effect of supporting all or most operations from the United States a likely prospect in the not too distant future. In addition some visionaries continue to insist that investment in satellite replenishment is unwise due to the constant need to modernize with new and revolutionary satellite systems.
