520			_a"From smart munitions and ground penetrating radar to autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence and drones, the mode of warfare is currently undergoing a rapid transformation, with modern technologies reshaping how armies fight in the twenty-first century. Modern Weapons and Tactics analyses the choices that armies confront as they try and combine old and new capabilities. Based upon extensive observation and practical experimentation with emerging systems, Jack Watling charts how the decisions armies make to seek advantage from novel technologies inevitably determine their effectiveness and success on the battlefield. At a time when defence spending across NATO is on the rise, and conflict with Russia raises new questions of what it means to fight a truly 'modern' war, Watling demonstrates how armies must fight, rather than simply assert what they will fight with"-- _cProvided by publisher.
