FOSTER EDUCATION BY TECHNOLOGY

In the informational war it is difficult to identify who are belligerents and what is real or false. Today, concepts such as chaos control, soft power or color revolutions represent modern approaches to conflict situations by potential NATO enemies. The evolution of military conflicts in Central Asia, the Middle East or the Western Balkans creates new determinations of the adaptive response to the challenges of the modern battlefield. Virtualization of the battlefield implies a high degree of decentralization of military operations, given the limited resources available. That is why the strategic awareness of the new challenges in the cyber confrontation space requires the identification, development and implementation of adaptive working tools based on leading technologies. All these things create prerequisites for achieving a reflexive control, as a competitive advantage in the conflict space, by influencing the opponent's perception and getting a predictive evolutionary behavior. In this context, the critical thinking of the commanders in the decision-making is directly determined by the technological trends of the information age. Hierarchical thinking is replaced by a new way of thinking, namely network thinking. This means not only a collaborative thinking, but also a new way of approaching and reporting decision makers to the operational environment. In addition, this network-centered vision requires the use of the latest technologies and a very good knowledge of how to operate them. Thus, interoperability in the tactical field is determined first and foremost by the achievement of an intellectual interoperability at allied level, and the use of technology become an added value of educational processes.
