The Vulnerability of Surface Forces to Modern Stand-off Weapons

Abstract

The employment of sophisticated microelectronics for data collection, transfer, and processing will revolutionise the appearance of war in the years to come. Indeed, completely new and promising forms of conventional warfare by means of today’s technology could be available now if the way of thinking of the military was not too deeply rooted in the experience and concepts of previous wars. Today, the technology of tomorrow is faced with the operational thinking of yesterday.
