Description
The nature of war is constantly evolving. Exponential technological acceleration is transforming how conflicts are waged, making it increasingly difficult for forces to adapt and respond effectively. In this reimagined approach to modern warfare, the author explores the key disruptors that are changing the face of combat. Autonomous weapons, advanced sensors, and hyper-fast velocities are creating a battlespace that is both transparent and overwhelming. To survive in such an environment, commanders must be able to generate battle shock - operational, informational, and organizational paralysis induced by the rapid convergence of these disrupters. The book offers immediate insights for today's commanders and defence policymakers, examining how forces can mask from enemy sensors, execute command and control in a degraded communications environment, and survive an enemy-first strike.
