"Digitization of the battlefield is producing a revolution in military affairs, but not the one the architects of the military future have in mind. It is occurring because the American military, more than any other, has seized on the digital information revolution and is adapting it for combat as rapidly as possible. Using a carefully networked array of sensors, shooters, and automated information systems, the US armed forces expect to dominate 21st-century battlefields. Farther down the road, beyond 2010, the Army expects to marry these "knowledge-rich attributes" to new speed and agility, and to the increased range and lethality of new weapons. These innovations are to become not merely part of, but the basis for, day-to-day military operations."
