This dissertation explores the evolution of Revolutions in Military Affairs through historical and contemporary lenses, emphasizing technology's role in strategic thinking and operations.
Spanning from antiquity to the 21st century, it analyzes how innovations like railroads during the American Civil War transformed logistics and mobility, enabling rapid troop and supply transport that shaped battle outcomes.
Similarly, in World War II, the Allies' naval superiority relied on logistics and anti-submarine technologies, overcoming the U-boat threat and securing Britain's resupply.
At its core, the work theoretically examines RMA, from the military revolutions of the Hundred Years' War to modern shifts like AirLand Battle and Follow-on Forces Attack during the Cold War.
It critiques overreliance on technology and delves into Soviet/Russian approaches to hypersonic weapons, integrated into the new Russian doctrine as tools of asymmetric warfare.
Finally, the dissertation focuses on contemporary applications, such as Starlink's use in the Ukraine war, enhancing communication and resilience against cyber and non-conventional threats.
In conclusion, it underscores that RMA is not merely technological but also political/strategic, requiring adaptation to asymmetric risks to maintain military balance.
