Remarks on the impact of advanced technology on weapon system construction and on repair and resupply capabilities in the combat environment. Identifies current trends in weapon systems development and logistics support systems that may converge in the future combat environment with devastating impact on sustainability. These trends include higher reliability weapon systems, reduced logistics infrastructure, reduced field repair capability of composite materials, smaller number of repair parts stocked, and diminished manufacturing sources for micro-technology parts. Concludes that unless increased emphasis and priority are given to the USAF Aircraft Battle Damage Repair program, the air component commander of the 21st Century will have highly reliable combat ready aircraft that cannot be repaired if they sustain significant battle damage.
