Conceptual guidelines for defining the doctrine of non-kinetic operations

Summary/Abstract: There is a cliché that the armies of the world are always preparing for a final war. In fact, they are trying to win the next war. Today’s conflicts are largely based on modern technological tools. Today’s wars, based largely on non-kinetic operations, are emerging as a new type of conflict to which no one is prepared to respond adequately. Thus, a new philosophy of war appears due to the appearance of non-kinetic weapons. Currently, a weak opponent in the traditional sense of the conflict can prove to be a strong opponent by using informational, psychological, cyber or other non-kinetic fighting techniques. War based on non-kinetic weapons is becoming increasingly independent, although at the initial stage it was only the support of classical military operations. Today, in most cases, we have in front of us a more powerful set of tools than classical military operations, because their use is possible in a larger number of situations. The non-kinetic instruments dynamics development requires the understanding of the combat techniques used such as informational, psychological, cybernetic, economic, diplomatic, etc. The increasingly active spread of non-kinetic operations in the modern world must be acknowledged. Both their refinement and their focus not only on military but also on peaceful purposes are growing, which suddenly expands their scope.
