This is a time of enormous technological change. However, we often focus so much on technology for technology’s sake that we forget to analyze what this change implies — where it can lead.
It would be wise to remember that a military-technical revolution unfolds ever so often and is marked by a period of sharp, discontinuous change. This change always renders the very definition of warfare, which is in practice at that moment, obsolete. This change then leads to a profound and destabilizing effect on battlefields. It may be seen in the form of a new tactic, such as the ‘Blitzkrieg’ in World War II or, it may be seen as the emergence of a new strategic era, such as that brought about by Nuclear weapons. Sometimes, these revolutions occur hand in hand with changing political agendas such as the Napoleonic revolution or the nuclear arms race.
