Summary/Abstract: The end of the Cold War has witnessed a major transformation in the global balance of power. A military revolution is underway, and at least some of the technologies that are now being developed will change the nature of warfare in the coming decades. Most modern wars have become irregular or asymmetric conflicts between states and nonstate actors. The resulting wars are not high-technology duels between conventional forces, fact which seems to prove that superior technology and tactics have led to a “Revolution in Military Affairs” (RMA) that will dominate modern warfare.
