Journal of Strategic Military Studies

This research investigates the integration of artificial intelligence systems in military command and control structures, examining both the strategic advantages and ethical considerations. The study analyzes current AI implementations across NATO forces and proposes comprehensive frameworks for responsible AI deployment in combat scenarios.

Key findings include recommendations for human-AI collaboration protocols, accountability mechanisms for autonomous weapons systems, and training requirements for military personnel operating AI-enhanced platforms. The research emphasizes the critical importance of maintaining human oversight while leveraging AI capabilities for enhanced situational awareness and rapid decision-making.

As military operations increasingly depend on space-based assets, this study examines the strategic importance of space domain awareness in multi-domain operations. The research analyzes emerging threats to satellite infrastructure, including anti-satellite weapons, cyber attacks on space systems, and the militarization of commercial space platforms.

The paper presents a comprehensive framework for integrating space operations with land, sea, air, and cyber domains, emphasizing the need for resilient space architectures and international cooperation mechanisms. Special attention is given to the role of private sector partnerships and the challenges of space traffic management in contested environments.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence into military operations represents one of the most significant transformations in modern defense strategy. This comprehensive analysis examines current AI capabilities in military contexts, from autonomous weapons systems to cyber operations and predictive logistics.

The research addresses strategic advantages and vulnerabilities, ethical implications of autonomous systems, and the evolving doctrines shaped by AI-augmented decision-making. Special attention is given to the global AI arms race and the need for international frameworks governing AI in warfare while maintaining human authority in critical military decisions.

This study explores the evolution of psychological operations in the digital information environment, focusing on how state and non-state actors exploit cognitive biases and social media algorithms to influence public opinion and undermine democratic institutions. The research examines case studies from recent disinformation campaigns and their impact on national security.

The paper proposes innovative approaches to cognitive security, including educational frameworks for media literacy, technological solutions for detecting deepfakes and manipulated content, and policy recommendations for protecting democratic discourse while preserving freedom of expression. The research emphasizes the importance of building societal resilience against information manipulation through multi-stakeholder collaboration.
