New Technology Applications for Military Logistics

Abstract

This paper is a preliminary examination of the relationship between various new technologies and modern military logistics. A brief overview of Canadian military logistics is given together with a list of important factors such as defence policy and geography that play a significant role in logistics planning. Making use of the framework developed for the Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Technology Investment Strategy (TIS), a number of leading-edge technologies are listed and their potential relationships with military logistics are highlighted. Finally, a short discussion of the opportunities and risks contained in these relationships is presented.
