Clausewitzian Friction And Twenty-First-Century War—The Paradox Of Technology, Nikolas Gardner Jun 2024

Clausewitzian Friction And Twenty-First-Century War—The Paradox Of Technology, Nikolas Gardner

Naval War College Review

New and emerging technologies—especially affecting sensors, networks, autonomy, and computing—are changing Clausewitz’s concept of friction in warfare. While these technologies appear to reduce some aspects of friction, they amplify others and may introduce new ones altogether.

Twenty-First-Century Innovation Pathways For The U.S. Navy In The Age Of Competition, James A. Russell Jul 2020

Twenty-First-Century Innovation Pathways For The U.S. Navy In The Age Of Competition, James A. Russell

Naval War College Review

Recent programs such as the littoral combat ship, the Zumwalt-class guided-missile destroyer, and the Ford-class aircraft carrier all have highlighted the Navy’s failure to produce innovative, afford-able ships in the quantity and of the quality needed to configure a larger, redesigned fleet. Unless the Navy can address mistakes made in these programs it will have difficulty innovating success-fully—with potentially disastrous consequences.

The "Technology Gap" Between The United States And Western Europe, Franklin R. Root

Naval War College Review

In recent years there has been much discussion on both sides of the Atlantic about a technological gap between the United States and Western Europe. Many commentators have raised the specter of technological domination by the Americans in the decades ahead as the new post industrial society takes shape under the impact of a Second Industrial Revolution.

Science And Technology Of The Future And Their Impact On Strategy, John S. Foster Jr

Naval War College Review

I am grateful to have this opportunity to discuss with you the important influence that science and technology have on our strategic capabilities. Today this Nation has both land-based and sea-based strategic nuclear deterrent forces because we did the necessary research and development in the 1940's and 1950's. The R&D that we did in the 1960's will give us strategic weapon choices. through much of the 1970's.

Science, Technology, And Change: Implications For The Navy, Raymond C. Shreckengost

Change is the name of the game today, and technology continually changes the rules. Willingly or not, the Navy is a player in these uncertain times with exceptionally complex responsibilities to be met on the seas, above the seas, and in the seas.

Technology And Warship Design: Capturing The Benefits, W.F. Fahey

Naval War College Review

One need not dwell on the wonders or the progress of modern technology; moon landings, hand-held computers, and microwave cooking are part of the everyday vocabulary of today's elementary school pupil. Even more advanced concepts are well within the understanding and common use of high school and undergraduate students: microcircuitry, nuclear fission, Venus probes, solar energy cells.


The Technology Of Command, Eberhardt Rechtin May 2018

The Technology Of Command, Eberhardt Rechtin

Naval War College Review

Who was it who said, "My commander in chief may make me an admiral, but only cornnumications can put me in command"? It could have been an aviator. It certainly could have been a fleet commander. It demonstrably was the thinking of the German Commander-in-Chief, U­Boats, Karl Ooenitz in World War II. His story is worth retelling, familiar as it is, because it dramatically illustrates the strengths and dangers of the technology of command.'

Undermining Technology By Strategy: Resolving The Tradeprotection Dilemma Of 1917, Robert W.H. Mckillip

Naval War College Review

The introduction of convoys for the protection of merchant shipping, which began on a large scale during the middle of 1917, is generally regarded as one of the major turning points of World War I. Relevant to this was the failure of the German submarine campaign to end the war in 1917, or even to improve significantly Germany's position-one of the most important factors in sealing the fate of the Central Powers.

Confronting Technological And Tactical Change: Allied Antisubmarine Warfare In The Last Year Of The Battle Of The Atlantic, Douglas M. Mclean

Naval War College Review

The recall of German U-Boat Wolfpacks from the central North Atlantic at the end of May 1943 ended the most costly phase of the shipping war for the Allies. Never again would the U-boats inflict dangerously high shipping losses. The naval war remained bitter, however, for the U-boats refused to give up, turning instead to new technology and new tactics. Right to the end of the war, they continued to present a plausible threat, one that caused concern in high Allied circles.


Stealth Technology In Surface Warships, John W. Mcgillvray Jr. Apr 2018

Stealth Technology In Surface Warships, John W. Mcgillvray Jr.

Naval War College Review

Following the attack upon the USS Stark (FFG 31) by Iraqi Exocet missiles in May 1987, the U.S. Navy greatly accelerated its efforts to improve anti-ship missile defenses. Much emphasis was placed on improvements to point-defense missile and close-in weapon systems that could destroy the anti-ship missiles themselves ("hard kill"), on improvements to the performance of the Standard surface-to-air missile warhead and fuse against sea-skimming cruise missiles (another "hard kill" system), and on improvements to the integration of electronic warfare detection and other "soft kill" systems aboard ship and in embarked helicopters


Information, Technology, And The Center Of Gravity, Jeffrey A. Harley Apr 2018

Information, Technology, And The Center Of Gravity, Jeffrey A. Harley

Naval War College Review

The American way of war is characterized by the use of overwhelming force and a search for technological advantage.t This appears to be a logical approach, given a political need to limit the duration of a conflict and minimize casualties. This style of warfare, however, is not applicable to every type of con flict. Although technology has certainly enhanced the conduct of war in many ways, it remains only a tool, useful in certain applications. In addition, the United States cannot be assured of overwhelming strength or technological advantage at the commencement of hostilities. Therefore, U.S. military officers must reflect …
