Abstract Military Intelligence is one of key factors that needed for successful warfighting on all levels. It even more important in modern complex and rapidly changing environment. Lessons learned from War Ukraine show timely accurate intelligence preparation to achieve battlefield dominance, especially if ratio fighting forces fundamentally unequal. This article presents significance military...

This report describes an initial reference architecture for intelligent software agents performing active, largely autonomous cyber defense actions on military networks of computing and communicating devices. The report is produced by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Research Task Group (RTG) IST-152"Intelligent Autonomous Agents for Cyber Defense and Resilience". In a conflict wit...

Offense-defense theory argues that international conict and war are more likely when offensive military operations have the advantage over defensive operations, whereas cooperation and peace are more likely when defense has the advantage.

Abstract How do states distribute the burdens of collective defense? This paper develops a network theory burden sharing. We focus on bilateral defense cooperation agreements (DCAs), which promote in variety defense, military, and security issue areas. Using computational model, we show that DCA partners’ spending depends structure their agreements. In terms, DCAs increase by committing to acti...

This paper addresses a new approach to the longstanding problem of interoperating military command and control with combat simulations. There is great potential benefit in such a capability, both for more effective training and as a “what if” capability during military operations. We describe the Battle Management Language, an unambiguous means of describing military operations to people, simul...
