Summary/Abstract: The security environment of the past, present and future is marked by complex challenges, economic, social, cultural or financial, being thus very unpredictable. Therefore, the configuration and typology of warfare is very often influenced by the developments in the security environment. The accelerated pace of technological progress and the way it disseminates provide indications on the way the future warfare will look like. Over time there have been important military transformations aiming at modernisation. These developments, combined with the economic, geopolitical and demographic ones, seem to make this world a more dangerous and less stable place than before. In this context, the role and quality of the military factor are decisive in maintaining peace and stability at regional and global level.
