Disruptive Technologies for the Militaries and Security - Ajey Lele Gebunden

This book debates and discusses the present and future of Disruptive Technologies in general and military Disruptive Technologies in particular. Its primary goal is to discuss various critical and advanced elucidations on strategic technologies. The focus is less on extrapolating the future of technology in a strict sense and more on understanding the Disruptive Technology paradigm. It is widely accepted that technology alone cannot win any military campaign or war. However technological superiority always offers militaries an advantage. More importantly technology also has a great deterren t value. Hence on occasion technology can help to avoid wars. Accordingly it is important to effectively manage new technologies by identifying their strategic utility and role in existing military architectures and the possible contributions they could make towards improving overall military capabilities. This can also entail doctrinal changes so as to translate these new technologies into concrete advantages.
