According to our calculations, more than two hundred ships were sunk by German submarines off the Portuguese coast during First World War. In last few years, historiography has produced several pages about operability of submarine warfare, although we still do not know its social and economic impacts. Taking into account latest scientific advances, propose new problematics around this subject c...

In 1983, David B. Adams published "Why are there so few Women Warriors? " This important paper brought to light the traditional coriflict between marriage and war. Going against the classical "men are more aggressive" theory, Adams presented the conflict of interest a wife might experience in a patrilocal, exogamous society that would necessitate her removal from the warfare complex. However, e...

This paper is the result of an analysis of the Situation Development process as carried out today by the US Army in both conventional and unconventional (e.g., asymmetric, counterinsurgency and urban) warfare. Definitions of situation development in current field manuals and other doctrinal documents are almost exclusively confined to its application to conventional warfare in which the enemy i...

In this paper the author introduces the common and different features of signals intelligence and electronic warfare support measures, as well as interprets the content of intelligence and combat information. The paper shows the role of low probability of intercept transmission modes in the modern tactical communications. It focuses on the challenges to signals intelligence and electronic warfa...

The authors sum up the more capital questions of the asymmetric warfare and its psychological factors. They give overview about the military-scientific basis of the asymmetric warfare and its threats; interpretation of asymmetry in the activities of national security; Systematic elements of strategic asymmetry; coherence of strategy reacting to asymmetric threats with other strategies and final...

The transition to network centric warfare brings with it great promise for the effectiveness of future military operations. This promise arises from the capability for network centric warfare to empower individuals at all levels with vast amounts of relevant information and thereby lift the “fog of war.” By achieving the promise, commanders will be able to effectively and efficiently employ the...

Recent years have seen an explosion of multidisciplinary interest in ancient human warfare. Theory has emphasized a key role for kin-selected cooperation, modulated by sex-specific demography, in explaining intergroup violence. However, conflicts of interest remain a relatively underexplored factor in the evolutionary-ecological study of warfare, with little consideration given to which parties...
