Supply-chain resilience mechanisms relevant to military aviation

Resilience cluster	Description	Authors
Structural preparedness	A set of pre-established physical, technical, and organizational capabilities designed to ensure operational continuity during crises (e.g. stockpiling, redundancy, standardization, vertical integration)	Ahn et al. (2025), Anuat et al. (2022), Armstrong (2002), Brick (2016), Dimitrova and Terziev (2015), Elvemo (2025), Funo et al. (2011), Gürtlich and Lampl (2022), Hui et al. (2022), Kleczka et al. (2024), Nagurney (2023), Panko (2011), Sani Mohammed et al. (2023), Sani et al. (2022), Ti (2022), Urmston et al. (2024)
Adaptive response	The ability to respond swiftly and flexibly to disruptive events, including process reconfiguration, emergency mobilization, and responses to unforeseen threats	Ahn et al. (2025), Brick (2016), Cabrera et al. (2023), Elvemo (2025), Funo et al. (2011), Gürtlich and Lampl (2022), Hui et al. (2022), Kleczka et al. (2024), Nagurney (2023), Sani Mohammed et al. (2023), Sani et al. (2022), Ti (2022), Urmston et al. (2024)
Operational intelligence	The capacity to anticipate risks, simulate scenarios, monitor the supply chain, and make data-driven decisions using predictive tools and technologies	Ahn et al. (2025), Anuat et al. (2022), Armstrong (2002), Cabrera et al. (2023), Chappell and Peck (2006), Dimitrova and Terziev (2015), Elvemo (2025), Gürtlich and Lampl (2022), Hui et al. (2022), Kleczka et al. (2024), Panko (2011), Sani Mohammed et al. (2023), Ti (2022), Urmston et al. (2024)
Strategic cooperation	Coordination among internal and external actors (suppliers, allies, civil and military partners) to strengthen the supply chain based on trust, integration, and structured alliances	Armstrong (2002), Brick (2016), Cabrera et al. (2023), Elvemo (2025), Funo et al. (2011), Hui et al. (2022), Kleczka et al. (2024), Sani et al. (2022), Urmston et al. (2024)
Critical sustainment	Capabilities that preserve long-term aircraft availability and mission support when normal supply channels remain degraded, including maintenance and repair capacity, lifecycle and obsolescence management, protected stocks, technical data, and access to critical resources	Armstrong (2002), Brick (2016), Chappell and Peck (2006), Dimitrova and Terziev (2015), Nagurney (2023), Panko (2011), Ti (2022)
