Observational method was employed to identify factors influencing logistics processes, while scenario planning was used to discern environmental trends. The study focuses on identifying key factors and presenting possible scenarios that will be able to affect the continuity of logistics chains in the defense industry thereby filling the identified research niche. The final conclusions present assumptions related to sustaining efficient cooperation chains and managing materials as key areas pertinent to the identified problem. The research problem was studied within a specific group of enterprises, with the reference period for the conducted research being 2020–2025.
