This
book examines the future trend toward "intelligent" warfare considering
the global environment, the history of warfare, and scientific and
technological advancement. It develops a comprehensive set of
theoretical frameworks, application concepts, and evaluation criteria
for military intelligence.
The volume is packed with
theoretical highlights and vivid examples, including the tracking of
Osama bin Laden, the decapitation strike against Qasem Soleimani, the
remote assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists, the drone war in the
Nagorno–Karabakh conflict, modern equipment deployed in the
Palestinian–Israeli conflict, and the war between social media groups.
In addition, the author envisions a possible future for "intelligent"
wars in which adversarial parties engage in combat through virtual and
unmanned systems. This nature may help avoid the brutality and high
death toll associated with traditional warfare.
The
book explores the possibility of future civilized warfare. It will be of
interest to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of
politics, military intelligence, and military technology, and to those
who are interested in intelligent warfare in general.
