“…Although government surveillance and data-mining of citizen records was already a subject of debate in Mumbai before the attacks occurred, local bloggers and newspaper columnists both called for more police presence, faster commando response teams and more security of every kind (Orion, 2007;Varma, 2007). In the global matrix of war, the emphasis on digital information technologies as weapons, especially mobile iterations, has generated the subjects of technoculture in historically specific, militarized directions (Schneider and Grinter, 2001;Warden, 1995). In this context, contemporary media operate in ways that call for critical engagement rather than romanticization of a purely emancipatory sphere of social networking in relation to a technologized 'other'.…”

In the case of the attacks in Mumbai in November 2008 two primary discourses generative of biopolitics in the global matrix of war can be identified as a framework of knowledge about mobile technologies: first, that national security is threatened by the use of digital information technologies heavily symbolized by the use of mobile devices and the perceived manipulation of otherwise neutral forms of media by those deemed to be enemies; and, second, that national security is enhanced by the utilization of these technologies on the level of individuals and non-state groups within the nation to better practice democracy and to identify as citizen-consumer subjects. In the global matrix of war, the emphasis on digital information technologies and new media — especially mobile iterations — as weapons has generated the subjects of globalized and local technoculture in historically specific, militarized directions. In this context, contemporary media operate in ways that call for critical engagement rather than romanticization of a purely emancipatory sphere of social networking over and against a fully networked, enemy ‘other’.

With the high power microwave devices development, the high power microwave electromagnetic pulse bombs (Ebombs) have become practical abroad. The development of conventional E-bombs devices allows their use in nonnuclear confrontations. E-bombs are powerful enough to damage communication, radar, navigation and computer systems. This paper discusses effects of EMP on electrical system and how to defend the EMP.

“…Thought on military logistics arose in two dimensions: as an art and as a science, a transcendent issue for the operational and subsistence dynamics of armies [1]. The above is important because without effective logistics for the support of combat forces, it would be impossible to arm, feed, repair, move, or support the soldier, sailor, or airman in the development of a conflict or future event [2]. The development of military logistics is justified by and related to each period of military logistics revolution (MLR), considering that changing the way an army operates influences the way in which troops are logistically supported [3].…”

Evolution of Military Logistics

Background: Military logistics has been present from the moment a soldier was created, and its evolution has been influenced by the technology used. Indeed, it has been observed over time that every military revolution was intrinsically caused by a military logistics revolution, directly promoted by the technology applied to the manner of making war. Few papers have been written about military logistics in relation to the development of war itself. Its application was conceptualized in two dimensions: as an art and as a science, interdependent on decision-making. With the evolution of human beings, the way of making war also evolved and therefore a transformation was generated. This makes it necessary to deepen the application of mathematical modeling, statistics, and new technologies in military logistics, promoting the application of concepts based on technology to improve the effectiveness of armies. The aim of this paper is to review the evolution of military logistics. Methods: A systematic approach to the literature review is followed. The backgrounds of the military logistics thought, key authors, trends and a new definition of military logistics is presented, among others. Results: The findings allow us to identify a set of 21 definitions of military logistics since 1792.
