The impact of technology in War Strategy

Summary/Abstract: The impact of technology in military affairs has been always remaining part of discussions over the development history of the war and combat. There are many supporters of the technology or technophiles who argue that technology crucially affects on warfare and war fighting, even on tactics of how to conduct military operations or affecting so much military doctrine. What is more important they support idea of technology has definitely changed the strategy of war. On the other side, there are authors who acknowledge the impact of technology on warfare and it’s ingredients, but they think it is the rightful share of a common evolution of military affairs and this influence is not a decisive factor in winning the war. Despite the interesting an contemporary terms like “Revolution in Military Affairs” (RMA), “Fourth Generation War” (4GW), “Network Centric Warfare (NCW),” hybrid wars “etc., or other terms which are used often to underline technological changes in the strategic field, this article will argue these differences do not justify some new approaches to the role of technology in war. Although it must be admitted that the impact of technology has a particular role and use of technological advantages brought very positive results in the battle-field, the technology is not the determining factor for winning or losing the war. If there is a decisive factor that leads to the victory of the war, this has been and sill is the human factor.
