This volume opens with two quotations that describe the importance of avoiding nuclear conflict. The book itself presents a careful and detailed examination of the way in which C3I technology can be utilized in a non-provocative defense, one that minimizes the likelihood of war by avoiding defense postures that might incite or threaten the opponent. This is described in the context of the NATO-WTO relationship. The book is divided into six sections: introduction, technological developments, requirements, C3I in NATO, C3I in a non-provocative defense, and conclusion. The section on technological developments speaks specifically of the areas of sensors, computers/AI, communications, and C2 opportunities and choices. The section on requirements reviews some standard WTO invasion scenarios, NATO's C2 structure, and NATO's operational concept and its C2 requirements. The C3I in NATO section combines the second and third sections, examining how specific military-technological solutions apply to NATO's needs. Part Five describes a non-provocative defense theory and suggests how technologies (specifically a fiber-optic communications network) might be used to implement it. Reference notes and a summary (in Dutch) are appended.
