Schmitt Cyber technology on the battlefield has outpaced the law, or at least full understanding of how extant law governs emerging capabilities—a strategically perilous state of affairs. On Littoral Warfare . 30 Milan Vego The lack of adequate capabilities for littoral warfare could cost a blue-water force like the U.S. Navy dearly in a high-intensity conventional war. So might the lack of a sound theory of littoral warfare, operational concepts, and doctrine; these require much effort and time and cannot be produced in a hurry after hostilities start. The Bulgarian Navy after the Cold War Challenges of Building and Modernizing an Effective Navy . 69 Deborah Sanders Bulgaria has made progress in building a navy able to advance its interests in the Black Sea and work alongside NATO allies, but modernization and professionalization have been slow and difficult. A Question of Estimates How Faulty Intelligence Drove Scouting at the Battle of Midway . 85 Anthony Tully and Lu Yu New scholarship and interpretations point to a new understanding of two of the most perplexing questions of one of the most debated naval battles in history—why the seemingly unstoppable Japanese carrier force suffered a devastating defeat at Midway in June 1942 and how we interpret the battle in the context of other carrier operations in 1942. Revisiting the Navy’s Moral Compass Has Commanding Officer Conduct Improved?. 100 Captain Jason A. Vogt, U.S. Navy Since the 2012 publication here of Captain Mark F. Light’s “The Navy’s Moral Compass,” the service has taken effective measures to address reliefs of commanding officers for personal misconduct, but the poor decisions of some have continued to trouble Navy leadership.

A closely related issue is how cyber warfare relates to the law of armed conflict� In our lead article, “The Law of Cyber Targeting,” Michael N� Schmitt tackles this question� While developing cyber technologies and techniques have for some time been outrun- ning accepted international legal frameworks and assumptions, this situation is beginning to change� The publication in 2013 of the Tallinn Manual on the Inter- national Law Applicable to Cyber Warfare—of which Schmitt served as general editor—has gone a considerable way toward cementing a consensus among lead- ing experts in the law of war on this subject� Here, Professor Schmitt systemati- cally reviews the findings of that study, with particular emphasis on issues that remain

  • Naval Craft, Weapon and Sensor Systems
    ++ I&S NAVAL CRAFT, WEAPON AND SENSOR SYSTEMS Fr. Lürssen Werft Abstract: The article provides an inside view on trends in technology of current and future naval construction programmes as seen by Lürssen, the German shipyard for naval vessels located in Bremen, Germany. The changing operational require- ments recognised in many western European and overseas navies focus on a surface combatant such as a corvette-sized ship with advanced capabilities to meet the spe- cific demands for littoral warfare operations. Based on these new requirements the article outlines technologies in current and future designs for Corvette- and Frigate- sized ships. It includes different types of platforms together with their specific benefits and capabilities for the intended employment in littoral warfare. In addi- tion, measures to reduce the ship’s signatures for enhanced survivability are broadly discussed. With respect to adequate sea-keeping, manoeuvrability, speed and en- durance (properties) in the littoral environment, the article also expands on the de- velopment and characteristics of new propulsion systems emphasising the overall need for a high degree of automation in all system components. The discussion on modern combat system technology once again underlines the need for a modular and flexible system design with open system architecture. The highest possible level of system automation reducing the number of personnel in the CIC and en- suring immediate reaction in a threat scenario is a further topic. Full integration of all sensors and weapons coupled with proven operational software is the essential technical requirement in this context. Finally, the article comments on some eco- nomical aspects of current building philosophies touching thereby on possibilities for crew reduction, costs reduction, potential capabilities for midlife refit, and growth potential.

  • Key NATO and Allied Exercises in 2021
    North Atlantic Treaty Organization www.nato.int/factsheets Factsheet March 2021 Key NATO and Allied exercises in 2021 NATO Allies and partners conduct exercises to test procedures and tactics, develop best practices and identify areas for improvement. Exercises are designed to ensure that NATO forces are trained, able to operate together and ready to respond to any threat from any direction. NATO exercises vary in scope, duration and form. Live exercises can involve thousands of troops; they am to demonstrate and develop the extensive military capabilities that NATO Allies need to keep our nations safe. Computer-assisted exercises take place in a classroom and focus on procedures. In addition to military exercises, the Alliance organises civilian and political training events as well. Allies also train together in national and multi-national exercises. NATO and Allied exercises in numbers In 2020, NATO conducted 88 of the 113 NATO military exercises originally scheduled for 2020. Allies held 176 national and multinational exercises. The COVID-19 pandemic did affect the full execution of the planned NATO Exercise Programme, and some NATO exercises were modified or cancelled. For the others, sensible precautions were taken to ensure participatns’ safety. The overall impact on NATO’s exercise proramme has been limited. For 2021, a total of 95 NATO exercises are planned. According to information provided by Allies, they will conduct 220 national and multinational exercises. The exercises led by NATO and Allies this year include around 20 joint (multi-domain) exercises, 24 exercises primarily focused on the land domain, 24 exercises in the air domain, and 9 exercises focused mainly on maritime operations.
