This publication presents the possible use of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for securing logistics supply chains during combat operations. The study's main purpose is to present how positioning conducted by the GNSS can be an element of military logistics assets support in the logistics chain delivery process. To achieve the stated goal of the research, the following research problem has to be defined: How does the positioning of logistics assets by the (GNSS) affect the security of combat operations? Specific research problems were identified for the research problems: What is the essence of using a satellite GNSS for military logistics? What are the effects of using a satellite GNSS in securing combat operations? Participants in the research were experts responsible for implementing innovative technologies from the space industry into the GNSS, while the GNSS was the subject of the research. The research hypothesis set in this paper is as follows: The use of the GNSS as satellite system affects the efficiency of the optimization of the logistics supply chain, increased troop safety and increasing allied forces interoperability. An Ishikawa diagram and GNSS system reliability indicators were used to analyze of the specific problem in detail. This publication was based on doctrinal documents such as: "Doctrine of the Land Forces" DD-4.2, "Logistics Doctrine of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland" D-4 (B) version 2. For the purposes of analyzing the GNSS, information was drawn from "GNSS Technology and its Application in Implementation and Control Measurements" and a publication entitled "Air transport supported by Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in the social security aspect - SARS - Cov-2, Covid-19 pandemic". An additional analysis and evaluation of the logistics supply chain and making relevant conclusions that can influence the further development of this system.
