Forecasting the Impact of Technological Development on Modern Wars and the Military Power of Small States

This research paper addresses the impact of military technological development on the concept of war, which has shifted from traditional war, which depends on the number of soldiers, ammunition, and military arsenal, to modern war that depends on technology as an effective strategic weapon that imposes its control on the ground by achieving the desired strategic objectives accurately. It also focuses on studying military technological development in enhancing the power of mini states through their possession of technologically advanced weapons and strategic systems capable of neutralizing, disrupting, or deterring the ambitions of major states with strategic depth. The study concludes that, technological development has become a very important element for all countries and an integral part of modern wars, because it is able to perform military tasks with high professionalism and flexibility, in addition to reducing dependence on the human element and replacing it with technology to preserve the lives of soldiers and reduce the time and effort spent in those operations.
