IDF Focuses on Speed and Lethality for Future Battlefield
(JNS) Yaakov Lappin - Israel's adversaries are increasingly arming themselves with precision strike weaponry. Additionally, adversaries can today purchase off-the-shelf quadcopters and arm them with grenades and RPGs. The IDF is formulating a new concept to deal with these challenges. It calls for the rapid destruction of enemy capabilities, rather than merely seizing enemy territory, and for doing this in less time with fewer casualties than ever before. This is based on the understanding that an Israeli home front under heavy enemy rocket fire would mean that the national economy would be paralyzed. Every day that a conflict is shortened is therefore critical.
