Summary/Abstract: Far from being a new process, the increasing impact of globalisation in recent decades has resulted in the fact that global actors (states, alliances, non-governmental organisations, corporations, agencies etc.) have been provided with tools that ensure access to real-time information, processing a huge volume of information and supporting decision-making. It has led, among other aspects, to the evolution of the classical typology of aggression, from traditional conflict to hybrid action methods. The complexity of military actions, generated by this state of affairs, is reflected, in the author’s opinion, in the trend of expanding their environment, integrating, besides the land, air and sea dimensions, the cosmic, electromagnetic and information ones.
