Problem Statement

In future conflicts, the US Joint Force Sustainment faces increasing operational demands:

Dispersed battlespace
Contested Logistics Corridors
Anti-Access/Area Denial
High Tempo, 24/7 Operations

Traditional logistics are too vulnerable and too slow to keep up. Sustainment must be mobile, adaptive, and survivable. Tactical/Operational Level resupply can be highly available, low cost per ton-mile & flight hour, rapid response, suited for LCSO/DDIL environment, runway independent and capable of delivery over any terrain, Fixed/mobile/maritime-based, organic to logistics units
