Technological and Organizational Shifts caused by Wars, Natural Disasters, and Industrial Accidents

Abstract

This paper aims to show cause-and-effect relationships between security and
operational risks, key security incidents, and/or security paradigm shifts due to good warfighting practices and how new or evolved technical systems and organizational practices have subsequently emerged. As the evolution of technical systems depends on several factors, the aim is to give the context of the evolution and explain how it influenced the evolution of technical systems and the subsequent change of the organization. Also, for some of the mentioned systems, a forecast of future development was made taking into account the known limitations, and a prediction of the outcome for the mentioned technologies and organizational models in the foreseeable future was given.
