This therefore substantiates the argument that the need of a capability is driving technology, the doctrine, and then ultimately the practice of the forces employed. In the future battle space restrictions of the past are no more and new tactics emerge; this is particularly crucial for global and battle space manoeuvring.

The source of protection and power of the United States is smaller than ever in comparison of percentage. When the armed services are again needed in larger quantities, it is possible that the means of acquiring these numbers will demonstrate the depth of American possibilities in a new and previously…
