I have four points on the challenge of contested logistics in modern warfare, and what technologists, industrialists, and investors can do about it:
- In the ongoing war, the Ukrainians are effectively targeting Russian vulnerabilities in the industrial concentration of fuel and ammunition.
- Expect that logistics on any future, modern battlefield will be very difficult.
- In response, land forces need to distribute those iron mountains of supply into little hills, adopt teleoperation and robotic platooning of existing trucks, and embrace wheeled robotic mules for resupply and casualty evacuation.
- These are challenging tasks in engineering and marketing, but they require no high science.
