520 _aHow will the massive proliferation of IT affect battle command in the future? Is it just more of the same in that the nature of battles and command are essentially timeless, or is the technological revolution fundamentally changing eveything: e.g. remote sensors and weapons making beyond the horizon warfare possible even for individual infantrymen. The book concludes that there is still some way to go in achieving sytems that distill vast amounts of information into comprehensible situation awareness. Too little is yet known about how future commanders will take to such systems; one troubling possiblity raised is that the systems themselves may induce command failure.
