Oborožene sile pri tem niso izjema. Razvoj in ekspanzija sodobnih tehnologij predvsem na področju robotike, biologije, nanotehnologije, računalniških procesorjev in kibernetike vplivata na zmogljivosti sodobnih oborožitvenih sistemov in posledično na zmogljivosti oboroženih sil. Nove tehnologije so omogočile večjo premičnost in hitrost vojaških enot, večji obseg izvajanja bojnih nalog in zmogljivejše oborožitvene sisteme. Sodobno vojskovanje temelji na zmogljivih oborožitvenih sistemih, komunikacijskih in informacijskih sistemih, obveščevalnih sistemih ter sistemih vodenja in poveljevanja.Več kot dve desetletji poteka razprava o spremenjeni paradigmi vojskovanja, zato se upravičeno lahko vprašamo, ali smo bili oziroma smo priča običajnim
