Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) phenomenon should start from the premise that humanity finds itself in a period of fast economic and social changes that includes spectacular development in telecommunications, informatics, computers and biotechnology. In this context, in which the society transforms itself and a new civilization is challenging the old one, armed forces are determined to change at every level simultaneously, from technology and culture to organization, strategy, tactics, doctrine, training and logistics. This is actually the definition of Revolution in Military Affairs given by Alvin and Heidi Toffler in 1993 in their work War and anti-war: survival at the dawn of the XXI century.
