\"\"\u00a0Impact of the RMA on Russian Military Affairs. Volume 1, January 1997<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>[ 113\u00a0Pages, 11.91MB ] –\u00a0 In the early 1980s, the Soviet military was perhaps the first to argue that a new\u00a0“revolution” was occurring in military affairs. Today the Russian military argues that\u00a0precision-guided, non-nuclear, deep-strike weapons and the systems used to integrate\u00a0them are revolutionizing all aspects of military art and force structure — and elevating\u00a0combat capabilities on the order of 10 to the 6th power.\u00a0According to the Russian military, superiority\u00a0in the new Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) proceeds from superiority in C*ISR\u00a0systems: 1) reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RST A) systems, and\u00a02) “intelligent” command-and-control systems. Information technologies are now said\u00a0to be “the most formidable weapons of the 21st century”– and comparable in effects\u00a0to weapons of mass destruction. Indeed they constitute the essence of the new, 4th\u00a0RMA. The Russian politico-military leadership is therefore engineering a dramatic\u00a0shift away from material-intensive systems and toward science-intensive systems: away\u00a0from ballistic missiles, submarines, heavy \u00a0bombers, tanks, and artillery and toward\u00a0advanced C’ISR and EW systems.<\/p>\n

Volume 2, January 1997<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>[\u00a0494\u00a0Pages,\u00a013.5MB ] –\u00a0According to Russian military experts, a Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA)\u00a0consists of fundamental and qualitative changes in the methods of warfare generated\u00a0by scientific-technical progress. But an RMA must occur through strategy; if the\u00a0strategy of war as a whole does not change, then no RMA occurs–only the results of\u00a0scientific-technical progress or a Military-Technical Revolution (MTR). The current\u00a0RMA appeared for the first time in the Persian Gulf War, where the coalition forces\u00a0indeed changed the strategy of war as a whole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
