Introduction
For a very long time, land warfare has derived its strength from the concentration of forces and firepower mass, for asserting territorial sovereignty. But the proliferation of a persistent surveillance system, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Precision-Guided Munitions (PGMs), autonomous platforms, and sensing technologies has brought in a fundamental alteration to this equation.
The contemporary battlefield is becoming increasingly transparent. Here, large formations are readily detectable, and static positions are often vulnerable to precision engagement. In such an environment, achieving survivability is no longer just dependent on armour alone, nor can battlefield success solely rely upon numerical superiority. Rather, a military advantage will increasingly belong to the force that can see first, decide quicker, manoeuvre faster, deceive effectively and remain hidden more efficiently.
