Overview

Technological advances have always influenced developments in military affairs, particularly fighting doctrines and forms of organization.

Special attention is given to advances in information systems, as the goal of the course is to derive insights into how militaries might respond, doctrinally and organizationally, to an extended period of information-technology-driven changes in military affairs.
