Warfighting and Disruptive Technologies

Disguising Innovation

About this book

Occasionally, during times of peace, military forcesachieve major warfighting innovations. Terry Pierceterms these developments'disruptive innovations' and shows how senior leaders haveoften disguised them in order to ensure their innovations survived.He shows how more common innovations however, have been those of integrating new technologies to help perform existing missions better and not change them radically. The author calls these 'sustaining innovations'. The recent innovation history suggests two interesting questions. First, how can senior military leaders achieve a disruptive innovation when they are heavily engaged around the world and they are managing sustaining innovations? Second, what have been the external sources of disruptive (and sustaining) innovations?This book is essential reading for professionals and students interested in national security, military history and strategic issues.
