A LEGACY SINCE 1864 The Romanian Armed Forces road to modernity started in 1859, ROMANIAN once the United Principalities General Staff Corps, currently the MILITARY Defence Staff, was established. THINKING Soon after it, in 1864, a group of nine captains, graduates of the first series of the Officer Cadet School in Bucharest, took the initiative to develop a “military science, art and history journal” named “România Militară/Military Romania”. The initiators of the publication – G. Slăniceanu (Captain, Chief of the Engineer Battalion), A. Gramont (Staff Captain), G. Borănescu (Engineer Captain), G. Anghelescu (Staff Captain), A. Anghelescu E. Pencovici (Artillery Captain), E. Arion (Artillery Captain), E. Boteanu (Staff (Staff Captain) Captain), E. Pencovici (Staff Captain) andC. Barozzi (Engineer Captain) –, educated not only in Romania but also abroad, were inspired by the necessity to develop a substantial theoretical activity in the Romanian C. Barozzi E. Boteanu Army too. (Engineer Captain) (Staff Captain) The journal manifesto1, included in the first issue, which appeared on 15 February 1864, contained innovative ideas and approaches that were meant to: �- contribute to the organisation of our military system the Legislative Chamber is about to decide upon soon; - assemble and examine the Country old military institutions that had made for the glory of Romania for several centuries and ensured our existence; - explore, in the absence of any military study, all the aspects related to the Army training, the most solid basis of the armed forces; - get the Romanian Troops well-informed about the military events in the world; G. Anghelescu - join efforts to work concertedly and whole-heartedly to develop and strengthen the edifice that is meant to ensure the future of our (Staff Captain) country�2. “România Militară” was an independent publication, under the aegis G. Borănescu G. Slăniceanu of the War Ministry, and it ceased to appear in 1866 as there were no (Engineer Captain) (Captain, Chief sufficient funds and subscribers. The publication was resumed in 1891, of the Engineer about a quarter of a century later, also as the result of the initiative of a Battalion) group of officers in the Great General Staff who intended to “reproduce the serious studies on the organisation, strategy and art of commanding troops under any circumstances”3. Shortly after it, by the Royal Decree no. 3663 issued on 8 December 1897, “România Militară” became the “Great General Staff official publication”. 1 Din trecutul României Militare cu prilejul aniversării a 75 de ani de la apariția ei în viața armatei. 1864-1939, București, 1939, p. 31. 2 Ibidem, p. 32. 3 România Militară, no. 1, 1981, p. 6.

However, OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION technology is not an independent variable: warfare unequivocally entails a technological dimension but success in warfare is dependent not only on the way IN MILITARY AFFAIRS – in which technology is employed in relation to the enemy but also on other equally Air Flotilla General Gabriel RĂDUCANU, PhD important factors such as strategy, tactics or logistics. History provides fairly Rector of “Henri Coandă” Air Force Academy , Braşov enough examples of states that have lost battles and even wars against enemies considered inferior in terms of technology. The question arises if future technology will allow for such situations to occur. or many experts in security studies, humanity is heading to an era Fwhen technology plays an increasingly important role in all areas of social relations, from meeting the primary needs of the individuals to ensuring the security and development of society as a whole. The reasoning is based on the unprecedented pace of technological progress. For example, during the last decade of the 20th century, the technological evolution was faster than in all the first 90 years of the same century. The mentioned unprecedented development is best illustrated by the Moore’s Law. Gordon Moore, cofounder of INTEL, noticed, in 1965, that the number of transistors in a microchip doubled every two years. This process has got accelerated nowadays, the period of time in which the transistors in a microchip double being 18 months. This rate of change is evident in a wide technological area: for example, the wireless signal transmission distance doubles every 18 months. What is remarkable in terms of this incredible technological progress is not only the qualitative leap but also the really disruptive capacity of the implications
