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

From An Engineering Perspective: Small Drones Affecting The Course Of Warfare
Abstract: At least since the beginning of the most recent Russian invasion of Ukraine and the massive use of unmanned aerial vehicles, it has become imperative to elaborate potential countermeasures, that is, counter-unmanned aerial systems. Accordingly, based on past and ongoing conflicts – including the war in Ukraine – this paper analyses the impact of… Read More

The Usage Of State-Of-The-Art Simulators In The Formation Of Future Navy Officers
Abstract: This paper examines how modern training simulators can aid in teaching future Navy officers. Traditional teaching methods often prioritise classroom learning with limited hands-on practice. This research examines whether the use of realistic simulators can enhance police officers’ learning of their job responsibilities. The study utilises various types of simulators to teach essential Navy… Read More

Beyond The Horizon: Training Minds And Systems For Tomorrow’s Conflicts
Abstract: Technological advancements and evolving security policies increasingly shape military conflicts through AI, autonomous systems, and cyber capabilities. Future developments can be analysed from both military-technological and tactical perspectives, highlighting challenges in command structures, information processing, and execution. The vignettes address the aspects of capability, understanding, and will, i.e., the parts of combat power. Countermeasures… Read More

The WarTech Nexus – Are Military Structures Fit Enough?
Abstract: Military effectiveness hinges on technological innovation and organisational fitness—the ability to adapt, integrate, and exploit new capabilities. While AI, cyber warfare, and autonomous systems are reshaping conflict, rigid hierarchies and cultural resistance hinder their adoption. Bridging the gap between technological potential and institutional readiness requires decentralised decision-making, strategic alignment, and adaptive structures. Public-private partnerships,… Read More

Enhancing Battlefield Observation With Imitation Learning And Digital Twin-Based Model Training
Abstract: The evolution of battlefield surveillance, from traditional elevated vantage points to advanced satellite remote sensing, has transformed geospatial data into actionable insights. The research focuses on creating a Digital Twin of a battlefield using a range of data sources. A methodology for assessing terrain features, such as visibility, slope, and soil moisture, is developed,… Read More

Is Manoeuvre Warfare The First Casualty Of The War In Ukraine?
Abstract: The Russo-Ukrainian War has revealed major technological and doctrinal implications. Among these, the big question that arises is whether the manoeuvrist approach, which is one of the cornerstones of current NATO doctrine, is still relevant and practicable in current and future conflicts. The most evident trend is how, for the most part, the ground… Read More

Manoeuvre And Attrition – Core Elements Of Naval Warfare
Abstract: In contrast to recent engagements at sea defined nearly exclusively by the logic of attrition, this paper argues that manoeuvre warfare is an essential component of naval warfare. The article shows that, depending on mission objectives, naval operations are characterised by manoeuvre warfare and thus contribute to minimising an adversary’s attempt to attrite one’s… Read More
