“…Vzrok je lahko tudi v tem, da so vsaj na začetku nekateri procesi konverzije v Sloveniji potekali brez zgledovanja po mednarodnem okolju ali brez upoštevanja obrambne stroke, ki je pojav konverzije na veliko raziskovala in izraz uporabljala. Navedeno velja tudi za konverzijo vojaških objektov in vojaške industrije v Sloveniji, kjer značilnosti teh sprememb, kljub manjši intenzivnosti, vendarle niso bile drugačne kot v drugih državah 1 . Ugotavljamo, da z zmanjšanjem ali končanjem glavnih procesov in sprememb, povezanih z razorožitvijo, demilitarizacijo in demobilizacijo po koncu hladne vojne, v strokovnem prostoru ugasne tudi pojavljanje izraza konverzija.…”

V prispevku predstavljamo pojav transformacije in njene paradigme ter transformacije na obrambno-vojaškem področju. Najprej se lotevamo mejnih pojmov in zatem opredelimo transformacijo, njeno paradigmo in proces. Pri tem zajamemo izraze konsolidacija, konverzija, modernizacija, preoblikovanje, prestrukturiranje, reforma in reorganizacija, nadalje revolucijo na vojaškem področju in reinženiring ter posebej preobrazbo in transformacijo. Izhajamo iz dejstva, da se ti pojavi spreminjanja po koncu hladne vojne v različnih strokovnih in znanstvenih virih ter obrambno-vojaški praksi opisujejo z izrazi, ki so lahko sinonimi za opis enakih pojavov, večkrat pa so uporabljeni za opis povsem različnih, čeprav so si na prvi pogled precej podobni. V razpravi nas zanima, ali je transformacijska paradigma hibrid, katere so stične točke z revolucionarno in evolucijsko paradigmo ter kam jo umestiti. K temu dodajamo ugotovitve in stališča o primerjavi revolucij na vojaškem področju in v transformaciji. Vse za boljše razumevanje transformacijske paradigme in transformacije oboroženih sil, tako v nacionalnem kot širšem okolju. Treba je namreč priznati, da sta transformacijska paradigma in njena filozofija še nedodelani in premalo raziskani ter preizkušeni v praksi, čeprav ravno na obrambno-vojaškem področju zasledimo pomembne korake. The article presents the phenomenon of transformation and its paradigm as well as the transformation in the fields of defence and the military. First, we address border concepts and later define the transformation process and its paradigm with the terms such as consolidation, conversion, modernization, modification, restructuring, reform and reorganization, further on revolution in the military field and re-engineering, and particularly alteration and transformation. In doing so, we procees from the fact that at the end of the Cold War these phenomena of changing have been described in a variety of technical and scientific resources, as well as the defense and military practice with the terms that may be synonymous in describing the same phenomena, but are often used to describe completely different ones, although seeming similar at first. In the debate, we are interested in whether the transformational paradigm is a hybrid; which are the common points of the revolutionary and evolutionary paradigm, and where to place it. Additionally, we provide the findings and observations on the comparison of revolutions in the military sphere and the transformation, all with the aim to enable better understanding of the transformative paradigms and transformation of the armed forces, both nationally and wider. It is important to recognise that the transformational paradigm and its philosophy are still incomplete and insufficiently researched and tested in practice, although important steps have been noted just in the defence and military fields.

“…Namun bagi Adamsky kemajuan teknologi persenjataan semata juga tidak akan menciptakan RMA. Perkembangan teknologi harus diiringi dengan adaptasi-adaptasi elemen lain (Adamsky, 2008). Adaptasi yang dimaksudkan Adamsky adalah adaptasi pada elemen doktrin atau strategi perang serta adaptasi pada elemen organisasional.…”

Revolution in Military Affairs: Strategi Menghadapi Strategic Disadvantage Singapura

The Singapore government since 2000 has stated their goals to have a strong and capable Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). The urgency of having a strong and capable SAF cannot be separated from the multidimensional threats that Singapore has to deal with. China's growing military capability coupled with increased aggressiveness in the South China Sea and relations with two conflicting neighbors are examples of traditional threats facing Singapore. Non-traditional threats, especially terrorism, also haunt Singapore. This article argues that the Revolution in Military Affairs implemented by Singapore is the mitigation of such strategic disadvantage. Through the implementation of the Revolution in Military Affairs which was marked by the acquisition of advanced weaponry technology and followed by changes in military doctrine and organizational adaptation, the SAF has already been transformed into a powerful military in the region.

“… 11. The proposition that warfare was undergoing a profound and transformative shift due to advanced technologies dates to several decades earlier, in the 1970s, during the height of the Cold War when Soviet military intellectuals articulated the notion of a military–technical revolution, which would eventually be incorporated and rebranded by American military intellectuals in the early 1990s as the Revolution in Military Affairs (Adamsky 2008). …”

This article analyzes US drone operations through a historical and ethnographic analysis of the remote split paradigm used by the US Air Force. Remote split refers to the globally distributed command and control of drone operations and entails a network of human operators and analysts in the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia as well as in the continental United States. Though often viewed as a teleological progression of “unmanned” warfare, this paper argues that historically specific technopolitical logics establish the conditions of possibility for the work of war to be divisible into discreet and computationally mediated tasks that are viewed as effective in US military engagements. To do so, the article traces how new forms of authorized evidence and expertise have shaped developments in military operations and command and control priorities from the Cold War and the “electronic battlefield” of Vietnam through the Gulf War and the conflict in the Balkans to contemporary deployments of drone operations. The article concludes by suggesting that it is by paying attention to divisions of labor and human–machine configurations that we can begin to understand the everyday and often invisible structures that sustain perpetual war as a military strategy of the United States.
