Conceptual Employment of Emerging and Disruptive Technologies in Military Mobility Support
摘要
The paper presents a conceptual framework for integrating selected disruptive technologies, Artificial Intelligence, Unmanned Systems, and Exoskeletons, into the specialized tasks of military mobility support, with a particular focus on the operations of military engineering units. The study aims to examine the practical applicability of these technologies in enhancing the effectiveness, safety, and operational agility of engineering forces operating under dynamic threat conditions. A comparative method was applied to identify the most relevant technologies, based on criteria including implementation potential, economic and logistical feasibility, and operational benefit-to-cost ratio. Each selected technology was then subjected to a qualitative SWOT analysis, evaluating its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the context of integration into military structures. The assessment considered not only technological capabilities but also real-world factors such as deployment conditions, compatibility with force structures, and sustainability. The study’s original contribution lies in the formulation of evidence-based conclusions and targeted recommendations derived from this expert SWOT analysis. These outputs provide actionable insights that can inform strategic decision-making in the modernization of armed forces, particularly for military engineering units tasked with mobility support in both current and future operating environments.
