Beschreibung
Battlefield Communications explores how military communication evolved from simple signals to today's complex digital networks. It argues that advancements in battlefield communications have not just made information faster, but have fundamentally reshaped warfare by enabling new command structures, enhancing awareness, and creating vulnerabilities. The book highlights that understanding the progression of military communication is key to grasping modern warfare's complexities and achieving information superiority. The book progresses chronologically and thematically, beginning with early signaling methods and tracing the evolution through the telegraph, radio, and digital systems. Key insights include how the advent of Morse code enabled near-instantaneous long-distance communication and how digital communication transformed warfare. Through case studies of battles, the book demonstrates how communication breakdowns and successes impact military outcomes, providing a unique focus on the human element of soldiers and commanders relying on these systems in high-pressure situations. This analysis makes Battlefield Communications valuable for military historians, defense professionals, and technology enthusiasts alike. By examining military archives, technical manuals, and personal accounts, the book offers lessons applicable to military planners and policymakers, examining the balance between centralized control and the ethical implications of AI in communication.
