Download or read book The Air Weapon written by Andrew G.B. Vallance and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air power today dominates virtually all military operations, yet it remains the least well-understood form of armed force. Technical and tactical details of aviation forces are widely available, but few understand how such forces are best used in prosecuting defence and security policy. The Air Weapon seeks to address this deficiency by setting out the doctrines which guide the use of air power at the strategic and operational levels of war. It identifies what aviation forces can - and cannot - be used to achieve. It encompasses doctrines for war-fighting and also for war-prevention. And it suggests possible directions for future doctrinal development. Following a cohesive 'top-down' analytical path, the study deals with air power in the only viable way: as an integrated entity. The Air Weapon is perhaps the only all-encompassing high-level study of this critically important yet all-too-little-understood form of military power.
Download or read book Third Dimension Deep Operations written by Allen P. Hasbrouck and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1980's saw an increased emphasis on the need to operate jointly in the planning and conduct of military operations. Historically, one sphere of operations has been conducted jointly for several decades -- counterair operations. However, Army-Air Force counterair operations primarily consisted of efforts to deconflict, divide, and compartmentalize activities rather than integrate them. This was due to technological limitations which precluded simultaneous Army and Air Force operations in the same air space. This study seeks to examine changes in threat technology and doctrine; imperatives of our current AirLand Battle doctrine; and potential mismatches between our capabilities and those required to meet the intent of our doctrine. Both the Soviet and non-Soviet threats we confront world-wide are more sophisticated and evolving. They are demonstrating an increasing use of the airspace in their conduct of operations. Such uses potentially inhibit execution of our AirLand Battle doctrine. However, from these conditions come opportunities for the future. The paper explores potential counters to a threat's use of the third dimension, doctrinal implications of the counters, and some possible technological considerations. The study closes with the conclusion that considerable joint study is needed to develop an optimum mix of future counterair capabilities. Keywords: Joint military activities; Air defense. (edc).
Download or read book Models written by Soraya de Chadarevian and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now that '3-D models’ are so often digital displays on flat screens, it is timely to look back at the solid models that were once the third dimension of science. This book is about wooden ships and plastic molecules, wax bodies and a perspex economy, monuments in cork and mathematics in plaster, casts of diseases, habitat dioramas, and extinct monsters rebuilt in bricks and mortar. These remarkable artefacts were fixtures of laboratories and lecture halls, studios and workshops, dockyards and museums. Considering such objects together for the first time, this interdisciplinary volume demonstrates how, in research as well as in teaching, 3-D models played major roles in making knowledge. Accessible and original chapters by leading scholars highlight the special properties of models, explore the interplay between representation in two dimensions and three, and investigate the shift to modelling with computers. The book is fascinating reading for anyone interested in the sciences, medicine, and technology, and in collections and museums.

Book excerpt: With today mutable identities and various kinds of warfare, how do we further our understanding of war? Reviewing influential war theories from Machiavelli to the present, this book analyses how they reduce war in terms of time, space, interaction, purpose, aim, and/or evolution. Considering war as a complex adaptive system allows us to increase our overall comprehension of contemporary wars.
Download or read book Massing the Third Dimension in AirLand Battle Future The Aviation Division written by William M. Jacobs and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the concept of fielding an Army aviation division as a viable options for deep attack execution in AirLand Battle Future. First the study synopsizes the key elements of AirLand Battle Future (ADB-F), then it determines the future role of Army aviation during the ADB-F transition. Next the study examines the points of view of six key theorists related to the massing and application of rotary wing aviation in the context of deep battle. Then history from the Korean War to the present is reviewed to trace the tactical and technological evolution of Army aviation in its wartime role. Throughout this historical period, Army aviation has grown in size, mass, and efficiency. This monograph finds that an Army aviation division is not only a viable third dimension transition to AirLand Battle Future, but it is the most logical and economical application of massed combat power at the disposal of the corps commander. As examined within, the formulation of the Army aviation division best prepares us for success in our Future First Battles. This study concludes that the organization of the Army aviation division is a viable part of the solution to fight AirLand Battle Future.

Download or read book The Nature of Modern Warfare Decisive Points in the Third Dimension written by and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent conflicts have provided valuable glimpses at the lethality of the modern battlefield and the vulnerability of large formations, command and control nodes, and air defense elements. The 1967 Six Day War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the 1982 Lebanese War in the Bekaa Valley, the War in Afghanistan, and the War in the Falkland demonstrated the potential dominance of air power in a theater. The neutralization or destruction of the opponent's aviation battlefield operating system (BOS) was a pivotal factor in each campaign. This monograph focuses on the characteristics of modern counterair operations at the operational level of war. It explores the application of the classical terms of decisive points and objective points to theater air operations. Emphasis is placed on the physical, and cybernetic domains of war and the characteristics of successful high tempo counterair operations. The importance of the electromagnetic spectrum and its relationship to freedom of action both in the air and on the ground is key to the argument. In the next major war, victory will go to the commander who identifies his enemy's decisive points both in the land campaign and in the air operation and directs overwhelming combat power against them. His focus will be on dominance in the electromagnetic spectrum and neutralizing opposing air with strikes against objective points at tempos too high for the opponent to control. The reward will be freedom of action across the theater.

Download or read book How Democracies Lose Small Wars written by Gil Merom and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-08-04 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 2003 book, Gil Merom argues that modern democracies fail in insurgency wars because they are unable to find a winning balance between expedient and moral tolerance to the costs of war. Small wars, he argues, are lost at home when a critical minority mass shifts the center of gravity from the battlefield to the market place of ideas. Merom analyzes the role of brutality in counterinsurgency, the historical foundations of moral and expedient opposition to war, and the actions states traditionally took in order to preserve foreign policy autonomy. He then discusses the elements of the process that led to the failure of France in Algeria and Israel in Lebanon. In the conclusion, Merom considers the Vietnam War and the influence failed small wars had on Western war-making and military intervention.
Download or read book Air Power in the Age of Total War written by John Buckley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-05-09 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warfare in the first half of the 20th century was fundamentally and irrovocably altered by the birth and subsequent development of air power. This work assesses the role of air power in changing the face of battle on land and sea. Utilizing late-1990s research, the author demonstrates that the phenomenon of air power was both a cause and a crucial accelerating factor contributing to the theory and practice of total war. For instance, the expansion of warfare to the homefront was a direct result of bombing and indirectly due to the extent of national economic mobilization required to support first rate air power status. In addition, the move away from the principle of total war with the onset of the Cold War and the replacement of air power by ICBMs is thoroughly examined. This work should provide students of international history, war studies, defence and strategic studies with an insight into 20th-century warfare.
Download or read book Russian Hybrid Warfare written by Ofer Fridman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade, 'Hybrid Warfare' has become a novel yet controversial term in academic, political and professional military lexicons, intended to suggest some sort of mix between different military and non-military means and methods of confrontation. Enthusiastic discussion of the notion has been undermined by conceptual vagueness and political manipulation, particularly since the onset of the Ukrainian Crisis in early 2014, as ideas about Hybrid Warfare engulf Russia and the West, especially in the media. Western defense and political specialists analyzing Russian responses to the crisis have been quick to confirm that Hybrid Warfare is the Kremlin's main strategy in the twenty-first century. But many respected Russian strategists and political observers contend that it is the West that has been waging Hybrid War, Gibridnaya Voyna, since the end of the Cold War. In this highly topical book, Ofer Fridman offers a clear delineation of the conceptual debates about Hybrid Warfare. What leads Russian experts to say that the West is conducting a Gibridnaya Voyna against Russia, and what do they mean by it? Why do Western observers claim that the Kremlin engages in Hybrid Warfare? And, beyond terminology, is this something genuinely new?
