The Department of Defense has been successfully exploiting rapidly
developing advances in information technology for military gain. On
tomorrow's multidimensional battlefield - or "battlespace" - the
increased density, acuity, and connectivity of sensors and many
other information devices may allow U. S. Armed Forces to see
almost everything worth seeing in real or near-real time. Such
enhanced vision of the battlespace is no doubt a significant
military advantage, but a question remains: How to we achieve
dominant battlefield knowledge, namely the ability to understand
what we see and act on it decisively? The papers collected here
address the most critical aspects of that problem - to wit: If the
United States develops the means to acquire dominant battlespace
knowledge (DBK), how might that affect the way it goes to war, the
circumstances under which force can and will be used, the purposes
for its employment, and the resulting alterations of the global
geomilitary environment? Of particular interest is how the authors
view the influence of DBK in light of the shift from global and
regional stability issues that marks the post-Cold War world. While
no definitive answer has yet emerged, it is clear that the
implications of so profound a change in military technology are
critical to the structure and function of the U.S. Armed Forces. In
working toward a definitive answer, the authors of this volume make
an important contribution to a debate whose resolution will shape
the decades to come. Ervin J. Rokke Lieutenant General, United
States Air Force President, National Defense University
