Summary


Technology plays a significant role in the development of the military and warfare. In particular, the dynamics of high modernity, with the development of advanced technologies, generated rapid and sustained waves of change and pressure. Accordingly, the military's increased engagement with and examination of technology has been a general characteristic of military organizations since at least the 1890s.


By linking military, technological, and intellectual history, this volume pursues the fundamental question of how the military creates, processes, communicates, and applies technical knowledge, and how it deals with the challenges and problems of new technology and the associated increase in the complexity of organization and warfare. The contributions shed light on specific examples of technical knowledge and knowledge techniques in the military and, taken as a whole, offer a conceptual overview that goes far beyond the narrower scope of the topic.
