significant portion of contemporary military operations in the aerospace and defence industry rely on military logistics. Effective support for military operations and defence systems demands well-coordinated access to resources, materials, and equipment. The aerospace and defence industry worldwide offers vital products and services to military organisations, thereby facilitating military logistics.
Military logistics in Europe encompasses a broad spectrum of activities related to the movement, supply, and upkeep of military forces in the region. It involves planning, organisation, and implementation of the movement and supply of troops, equipment, and resources. The region’s intricate and continually evolving security environment has necessitated the need for military logistics to provide interoperability, ensuring that military operations are conducted with optimal efficiency and effectiveness. The European defence system guarantees that all participating forces can communicate and coordinate efficiently, share supplies and equipment as required, and streamline logistics operations. To achieve interoperability, military forces establish standardised protocols and procedures for logistics operations, such as communication protocols, transport protocols, and supply chain management processes.
In this edition of Aerospace and Defense Review, we present logistics providers for defence in Europe and UK that design, manufacture and test packaging, storage and transportation solutions for weapons, explosives, and high-value items. Featured companies Astor Defence, Advanced ROAD, hansa-express logistics, and Orion Technik implement various measures to increase sustainability scores within the industry.

The magazine also includes insightful opinions of Francesco Barba, Project Procurement Manager, Procurement Directorate, OHB System AG, and Jeff Moore, Sr. Director, Line Maintenance & Technical Services, Frontier Airlines, imparting profound knowledge and experience within the region’s logistics sector. We hope these valuable insights from industry leaders featured in this edition will assist you in making informed decisions for your businesses.
