The concept of modular forces seems to be an ideal solution for a topical dilemma: how to build a single set of units for a wide range of military operations.

The concept of modularity includes the risk that shortage of support units will significantly limit the readiness of forces for a large conventional war. The author presents...

Ladislav Kulhánek
Vojenské rozhledy / Czech Military Review Nr. 1/2019: 73-84

An effective reduction of ballistic missiles and technologies has been identified in the political model, where sanctions and embargoes limit the proliferation of missile technology. In the technical model, which plays a key role, the limiting factors are those of development and dissemination of high-energy laser weapons. The substitutional model illustrates the application of tactical ballistic missiles...
