Artificial Intelligence Applications in Military Logistics Operations

The land military doctrine is changing by the new technology tools and their ability to influence operation planning and execution. In this regard, this paper aimed to illustrate the characteristics and primary technologies utilized in Logistics 4.0, focusing on using Artificial intelligence (AI) as a predictive tool for military operations. The text shows the main aspects of Logistics 4.0, The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Logistics 4.0, Inventory Management with artificial intelligence, Machine Learning (Linear Regression and Decision Tree), The characteristics of logistics use in modern conflicts, and the application of AI in military operations logistics. In conclusion, some armed forces, like the US Army, have already used this tool in task prediction, medical support, driverless refueling operations, and data storage via cloud services. However, other prospects for optimizing logistics commanders’ planning remain not explored. Artificial intelligence has tremendous potential in the military for optimizing the many approaches used in logistical planning, particularly concerning anticipating tasks and materials for operations.
