ABSTRACT
A quiet revolution is transforming the military world and its implications are hard
to predict at the moment. Technology shapes the conduct of war in a tremendous
way. It has always done this and there is little new about it. Everything in modern
war seems to revolve around technology: it determines how wars are fought, how
armies are organized and also many of the limitations they have.1 This dominance
of technology, which is so characteristic of modern times, does not imply that
technological superiority can always win battles and decide wars. There is plenty
of evidence to the contrary. Nevertheless, the belief in technology as a solution and
path to victory remains unbroken.
