Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the dawn of the age of science, man has attempted to find in technology simple solutions to the difficult problems of warfare. Modern developments in information technology continue this history, offering to provide ways to simplify some complexities of modern warfare. Information technology, however, differs from previous technological developments in that it represents both the means to improve weapon systems and the means with which to improve command and control. This monograph pursues the question of the operational level of war's relevance in the future. The future environment promises to be one where tactical commanders possess weapons of operational or strategic range and strategic commanders can command tactical forces. Technologically speaking, one can see in this future environment the potential to eliminate the operational level of war.

Book excerpt: "The introduction of advanced technologies into the military, which is known as the "revolution in military affairs," is producing an opportunity for significant changes in the American military's paradigm for command and control. The future battlespace will require commanders to operate more efficiently and at a higher operations tempo, so that commanders will be able to use the advantages of dominant battlespace awareness to enhance what is known as "command-by-intent." But the more likely outcome is a return tocommand-by-direction. A potential consequence of this change is that significant command functions will be made by machines that act, not as an assistant, but as the decision maker and executor -- which is known as the machine commander. However, the current U.S. military doctrine is inconsistent about the admissibility of such an entity, even though technological developments are on the threshold of delivering the components for constructing the first-generation machine commander. Furthermore, the same infrastructure that assists the traditional human commander creates a framework for using a machine commander. Furthermore, the same infrastructure that assists the tradiitional human commander creates a framework for using a machine commander. While resistance to this technology is expected, this is the proper time to examine the implications of a machine commander for military operations in the future."--Abstract

Book Synopsis War and Technology: A Very Short Introduction by : Alex Roland
Download or read book War and Technology: A Very Short Introduction written by Alex Roland and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The war instinct is part of human nature, but the means to fight war depend on technology. Alex Roland traces the co-evolution of technology and warfare from the Stone Age to the age of cyberwar, describing the inventions that changed the direction of warfare throughout history: from fortified walls, the chariot, battleships, and the gunpowder revolution to bombers, rockets, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and nuclear weapons. In the twenty-first century, new technologies continue to push warfare in unexpected directions, while warfare stimulates stunning new technological advances. Yet even now, the newest and best technology cannot guarantee victory. Brimming with dramatic narratives of battles and deep insights into military psychology, this book shows that although military technologies keep changing at great speed, the principles and patterns behind them abide.
Book Synopsis Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations by : National Research Council
Download or read book Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the United States Army is to fight and win our nation's wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of combatant commanders. Accomplishing this mission rests on the ability of the Army to equip and move its forces to the battle and sustain them while they are engaged. Logistics provides the backbone for Army combat operations. Without fuel, ammunition, rations, and other supplies, the Army would grind to a halt. The U.S. military must be prepared to fight anywhere on the globe and, in an era of coalition warfare, to logistically support its allies. While aircraft can move large amounts of supplies, the vast majority must be carried on ocean going vessels and unloaded at ports that may be at a great distance from the battlefield. As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, the costs of convoying vast quantities of supplies is tallied not only in economic terms but also in terms of lives lost in the movement of the materiel. As the ability of potential enemies to interdict movement to the battlefield and interdict movements in the battlespace increases, the challenge of logistics grows even larger. No matter how the nature of battle develops, logistics will remain a key factor. Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations explores Army logistics in a global, complex environment that includes the increasing use of antiaccess and area-denial tactics and technologies by potential adversaries. This report describes new technologies and systems that would reduce the demand for logistics and meet the demand at the point of need, make maintenance more efficient, improve inter- and intratheater mobility, and improve near-real-time, in-transit visibility. Force Multiplying Technologies also explores options for the Army to operate with the other services and improve its support of Special Operations Forces. This report provides a logistics-centric research and development investment strategy and illustrative examples of how improved logistics could look in the future.

Military and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the impacts of cyber technologies on war and warfare is increasingly critical for a planner's ability to design and execute operational art. The purpose of this monograph is to examine how the U.S. Army describes cyberspace and the effects that cyber technologies have on military strategy and operational planning writ large. The work specifically examines how cyberspace increases the speed and quantity of social transactions over space with effects on military and social forces. Secondly it addresses how the Army recognizes the impact of cyber technology on identity formation and virtual identity of both friendly and enemy actors. The author concludes that society's and the Army's increasing dependence and activity in cyberspace marks a change in warfare that the Army has been slow to accept. Inadequate coverage of the implications of cyberspace throughout doctrine combined with insufficient emphasis in professional military education and training may limit the Army's potential in all levels of war.Throughout recorded history, individuals and societies have had a fascination and a complex relationship with technology. Carl Sandberg's poem, "Under a Telephone Pole," is one such example from the twentieth century. The work personifies a telephone wire as being aware of its disparate uses

Book Synopsis Information Technology and Military Power by : Jon R. Lindsay
Download or read book Information Technology and Military Power written by Jon R. Lindsay and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Militaries with state-of-the-art information technology sometimes bog down in confusing conflicts. To understand why, it is important to understand the micro-foundations of military power in the information age, and this is exactly what Jon R. Lindsay's Information Technology and Military Power gives us. As Lindsay shows, digital systems now mediate almost every effort to gather, store, display, analyze, and communicate information in military organizations. He highlights how personnel now struggle with their own information systems as much as with the enemy. Throughout this foray into networked technology in military operations, we see how information practice—the ways in which practitioners use technology in actual operations—shapes the effectiveness of military performance. The quality of information practice depends on the interaction between strategic problems and organizational solutions. Information Technology and Military Power explores information practice through a series of detailed historical cases and ethnographic studies of military organizations at war. Lindsay explains why the US military, despite all its technological advantages, has struggled for so long in unconventional conflicts against weaker adversaries. This same perspective suggests that the US retains important advantages against advanced competitors like China that are less prepared to cope with the complexity of information systems in wartime. Lindsay argues convincingly that a better understanding of how personnel actually use technology can inform the design of command and control, improve the net assessment of military power, and promote reforms to improve military performance. Warfighting problems and technical solutions keep on changing, but information practice is always stuck in between.
Book Synopsis The Effect of New Technology on the Operational and Strategic Levels of War by : U S Army Command and General Staff Coll
Download or read book The Effect of New Technology on the Operational and Strategic Levels of War written by U S Army Command and General Staff Coll and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-05-30 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the development of steam propulsion in the United States Navy as a case study for how new technology affects the strategy of the United States at the operational and strategic levels. Using the modern paradigms of operational and strategic levels of war as delineated in current joint publications, this study shows that the link between technology and strategic and operations design is critical to the application of new technology. Though the period of the study is before the Civil War, significant use of steam propulsion in the United States allows detailed analysis of the application of technology without the influence of other nations. This book shows that, during this period, there is a significant strategic effect of steam technology, whereas steam technology's effect on the operational level of war is difficult to conceptualize. The study shows that certain patterns that relate to steam's application can be applied to modern technological advancement.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What will be the actual potential of the concept of Network Centric Warfare (NCW) as the military progresses from theory to practice? The actual potential of NCW can be best understood by critical examination of the past, not imagination of the future. This analysis attempts to answer the degree in which the information age will affect warfare and what are the potential pitfalls. Is the concept of NCW the most significant Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) since the Napoleonic Age? In order to answer the question, it is prudent to start at the origins of the idea, the information technology impact on the private sector and historical examples of innovations and warfare. The analysis continues with two key concepts that are at the nexus of NCW: shared battle space awareness and self-synchronization. The relationship between shared awareness and self-synchronization on the operational level of war is essential to the understanding of the true potential of NCW. Whether truly an RMA or not, the impact from information technology is dramatically changing current military operations. Examining the last American led immaculate war, the reality of the supposed RMA can be scrutinized apart from theory, war gaming, and exercises.

Download or read book The Linkage of the Strategic and Operational Levels of War written by Leon H. Rios and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovations in military technology and organization have change strategic and tactical methods of fighting wars. The U.S. Army AirLand Battle doctrine has revived the operational level to link strategic and tactical levels of war. The concept of operational level is not yet understood completely by other branches of the military or statesmen. A lack of common understanding about doctrine has caused conflicts about the preparation and conduct of war. The likely result of a misunderstood doctrine is the poor development of military strategy and poor execution at tactical levels. This paper examines linkages between strategic and operational levels of war using principles of war as guides for analysis. To that end, this paper examines the effects of changes in methods used to conduct war. The Korean War is analyzed to determine the linkage of the strategic level to the operational level of war. This paper concludes that the linkage of the strategic and operational levels is possible only through the development of the general's art. The general's art, the operational art, is the knowledgeable application of resources to accomplish goals that contribute to the political end. (Author).
