Intermodal In-Transit-Visibility (ITV) and asset visibility terrestrial challenges experienced by transportation professionals would translate to a space ITV-asset visibility shortfall in the emerging contested space domain, requiring mitigation to maintain Multi-Domain Operational (MDO) dominance. An examination of the background, ITV-asset visibility challenges, logistics management prioritization, space piracy, and recommendations highlights why these tasks are vital to maintaining space dominance moving into the future. History points towards the requirement of logistics and transportation professionals to plan for space logistics. Space logistics is a vital yet underdeveloped arena in humanity's future presence in space. As famed American aerospace engineer and space architect Wernher Von Braun described in 1960, "we have a logistics problem coming up in space. I think it is also safe to state that many of us have not realized the enormous scope of the tasks performed in the logistics area." |
