| Summary/Abstract |
Technology is often held up to be a key – if not the key, for some at least – driver in shaping the character or even perhaps the nature of war. The introduction of new technologies has resulted in novel and, usually by implication, more effective ways of conducting warfare. Indeed, many leading military thinkers have identified new technology – both of civilian and military origins – as the source of many of history’s military revolutions, or so-called major military innovations (MMIs), as others have termed radical change in military affairs.
