The Horizon Audiofiles - Ep 043 - 1+1 ≠ 2

Emerging and Disruptive Technologies are fundamentally reshaping
modern warfare, creating a paradox where military forces are
empowered and constrained by digital advancements. Western
militaries, particularly NATO, face growing friction as their
force structures struggle to adapt to the constantly evolving
Russian way of warfare witnessed in Ukraine. This paper
introduces the concept of digital friction, the operational
strain caused by overreliance on networked warfare in
environments where war remains fundamentally analogue and
unpredictable. By examining historical and contemporary
conflicts, this study highlights the risks of digital determinism
and advocates for a balanced approach where digital capabilities
enhance rather than replace traditional warfighting competencies,
as organised violence is inherently analogue.
