Full Description
The nature of modern-day threats - including those in the virtual dimension - challenges traditional anti-access and area denial (A2/AD) strategies. But how should we advance A2/AD to defy these multifaceted threats? This edition of Netherlands Annual Review of Military Studies (NLARMS) presents original conceptual as well as technological approaches to A2/AD. The volume explores novel ideas for a modern take on A2/AD, thereby contributing to the advancement of A2/AD. With the insights presented, the book proposes a new attitude towards A2/AD that is suitable to face the threats of the present time.
