TL;DR: The proposed data protection scheme meets the technical constraints imposed by LPNs, while preserving data confidentiality and integrity, and shows promising results with respect to power (battery) consumption.
Silver Bullets, Subjugation, and Adaptation: Why Some Militaries Thrive and Others Falter in the Face of Technological Change
Abstract: by Nathaniel R. Huston Why do some militaries thrive while others falter when faced with technological change? Studies of militaries and technology have tended to treat innovation as a binary concept: either the military innovates and adapts, or it does not. This research, however, indicates that this dualistic view of innovation is mistaken, that in fact militaries respond to change in a number of ways, one of which can have long-lasting effects at the geopolitical level. By examining the development of air power between World War I and the end of World War II, this work seeks to answer the following questions: Under what conditions can technological change contribute to a disruption in military affairs, and how and why do militaries fall short of achieving them? I contend that the answers to these questions lie in characteristics of the militaries themselves, specifically aspects of their nature as large bureaucracies and their relationships with the technology they wish to exploit. Analysts often treat militaries either as homogenous social institutions, responding to domestic or international conditions in similar ways, or as idiosyncratic projections of the leaders at their helm. I argue, by contrast, that militaries vary systematically in

Eisenhower: Decision-making and Consensus in an Unfamiliar Context
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the process by which Dwight D. Eisenhower developed his administration's national security policy, and the lessons that it presents for planners, particularly managing the interests of multiple stakeholders, building consensus, and confronting complex problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Situation Awareness and campaign assessments
TL;DR: The aim is to develop a process for evaluating changes to the complex organisational structure and processes used for producing assessment documents, even if it is difficult to understand the linkages between such changes and output quality.
