Future Of Drone Warfare In South Asia
Abstract: The military confrontation between India and Pakistan that took place in May 2025 has demonstrated that in South Asian, the employment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in active combat roles has become a reality. This growing utility of UAVs stems from their cost-effectiveness, precision, flexibility, and the reduced risk associated with their unmanned nature.… Read more →

The Impact of Automation on Combat Effectiveness: The Case of the Republic of Korea
Abstract: This study examines the relationship between the level of automation in warfare and combat effectiveness, focusing on unmanned combat systems (UCS). As the Republic of Korea faces a significant decline in the availability of military personnel due to demographic changes, UCS adoption has become a critical priority. While UCSs are anticipated to surpass human… Read more →

Operation Sindoor, Strategic Restraint, And The Teachings Of The Mahabharata
Abstract: India launched Operation Sindoor on May 07, 2025, striking nine terrorist camps in Pakistan, following a horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22. India’s strategic restraint in targeting only terror infrastructure in Pakistan in the initial stages of the operation is not evidence of its weakness, but rather a civilisational… Read more →

Resilience And Agility: Supply Chain Requirements In Military Operations
Abstract: In a less predictable operational environment, resilience and agility are vital requirements for military sustainment. To demonstrate this, we highlight the shortcomings in military supply chains and identify solutions and practices adopted by various organisations to address recognised challenges. Furthermore, there is a need to understand more about new practices and innovations in the… Read more →

The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence On The Military Decision-Making Process And Mission Command
Abstract: The progressive integration of artificial intelligence (AI) transforms military command across doctrinal, procedural, and cultural dimensions. AI reshapes the balance between centralisation and decentralisation across command levels. Using Col. John Boyd’s OODA Loop as a generic model of the military decision-making process (MDMP), it is possible to see how AI influences each step of… Read more →

Additive Manufacturing: A Key Enabler Of Low-Cost Modern Warfare
Abstract: A need for low-cost warfare has emerged from the experiences of several nations in current conflicts. On the one hand, a recent missile and drone attack on Israel was successfully defeated, but at the unsustainable cost of an estimated $1-1.5 billion. Houthi drones, costing $2000 each, were successfully intercepted with Standard Missile-2s (SM-2), which… Read more →
