Tracing its roots back to World War II, operations research (OR) has become a vital tool in military and defense strategy. The second edition of the Handbook of Military and Defense Operations Research highlights this evolution, showcasing how OR integrates with cutting-edge areas like Artificial Intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and Big Data analytics. This volume is more than a historical account; it is a practical guide. The volume features expert voices and offers insights into OR applications in modern security challenges. Readers will discover a blend of theory and real-world case studies, making it an essential resource for both newcomers and seasoned defense analysis professionals. Operations research (OR) is a core discipline in military and defense management. Coming to the forefront initially during World War II, OR provided critical contributions to logistics, supply chains, and strategic simulation, while enabling superior decision making for Allied forces. Since these early days, OR has grown to include analytics and many applications, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and machine learning, and is the cornerstone of management science in manufacturing, marketing, telecommunications, and many other fields. The Handbook of Military and Defense Operations Research presents the voices leading OR and analytics to new heights in security through research, practical applications, case studies, and lessons learned in the field. No longer constrained to printed tables and traditional optimization problems, OR and analytics support a dynamic problem space that has applications for national security, policing, cyberspace, foreign policy, terrorism, and homeland security. Because of this, there is a critical need for students, practitioners, military, and security analysts to understand the problem space, best practices, and lessons learned from real‑life problems.

The contemporary landscape of armed conflict is undergoing a profound transformation, marked by the escalating integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Autonomous Weapons Systems (AWS) into military arsenals. This book reviews whether the existing framework in place can effectively address breaches in the context of Autonomous Weapons Systems. The work endeavors to map out the main gaps and some possible approaches to address them. Part I sets the ground. First, it provides a concept of AWS. Next, it discusses the accountability gap AWS generate and shows how the international community has put far more emphasis on individual responsibility rather than state responsibility. Part II analyzes the challenges AWS pose to the regime governing state responsibility under international law, as codified in the Draft Articles on State Responsibility (ARSIWA). Slijper, Beck and Kayser, affirm that “Lethal autonomous weapon systems are weapons that can select and attack individual targets without meaningful human control. This means the decision on whether a weapon should deploy lethal force is delegated to a machine. This development would have an enormous effect on the way war is conducted and has been called the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and the atomic bomb.” Most of the discussed definitions converge that AWS can select and engage targets without human intervention, can gather and analyze information, and use force autonomously. The Future for Life Institute also envisions autonomy as a task-oriented and explicit AI feature by defining AWS as “weapon systems that use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify, select, and kill targets without human intervention.” It is AI that makes AWS’s decision-making process possible because it enables the devices to pursue the entire OODA loop autonomously, especially when analyzing data and opting for a course of action.

On 7 September 1812 at Borodino, 75 miles west of Moscow, the armies of the Russian and French empires clashed in one of the climactic battles of the Napoleonic Wars. This horrific - and controversial - contest has fascinated historians ever since. The survival of the Russian army after Borodino was a key factor in Napoleon's eventual defeat and the utter destruction of the French army of 1812.In this thought-provoking new study, Napoleonic historian Alexander Mikaberidze reconsiders the 1812 campaign and retells the terrible story of the Borodino battle as it was seen from the Russian point of view. His original and painstakingly researched investigation of this critical episode in Napoleon's invasion of Russia provides the reader with a fresh perspective on the battle and a broader understanding of the underlying reasons for the eventual Russian triumph.

Очерки о воздушной трассе Аляска — Сибирь, по которой в годы второй мировой войны американские и советские авиаторы доставили из США в СССР около 8 тысяч самолетов, бомбардировщиков, истребителей, транспортных и др. Общая протяженность трассы от американского Фэрбанкса до сибирского Красноярска составляла 6,5 тыс. км, из них по территории СССР – 5 тыс. км. С завода в США до фронта в СССР самолету приходилось преодолевать до 14 тыс. км. Организация трассы Алсиб стала возможной благодаря соглашению о ленд-лизе – программе поставок Соединенными Штатами товаров союзникам во Вторую мировую войну.
