摘要:Civilizational developments have had its effect on the development of military science that has always aimed to develop technology that would enable supremacy and easier winning. On one hand, it has evidently changed the way and tactics of conducting war, while on the other, it has erased the once clearly set boundary of the frontline. Wars are more often conducted in urban centers where the size of military power is not the factor of domination, but the availability of modern technology and superior equipment and weapons. Every revolutionary discovery in science has almost always found its use in the military sphere, which has significantly contributed to the change of warfare. Concerning the preparation, i.e. use of combat strategies and tactics, today’s multidisciplinary character of warfare understands besides directly involved parties inclusion of one or more indirect participants that usually favour one of the parties in the conflict. Cyberwarfare is especially characteristic and is used in the preparation phase, a started or an already ended conflict. As a result, the international community, and the UN, in particular, has a problem regulating conflicts that are out of the framework of the generally acknowledged international (Geneva) conventions of warfare. The wars of the future are likely to include fewer people and more technology; thus this paper argues that traditional warfare will become obsolete. Superior participants in the conflict will be the ones with technologically advanced devices and systems, as well as educated and trained personnel for their management and operation.
