Thoughts on the application of quantum-based artificial intelligence for military purposes

In today's information-based society, computer technology is developing rapidly, and thus the speed of operations is increasing exponentially. Fast and dynamic information processing has become one of the basic needs of countries and their organizations. Furthermore, higher levels of info-communication technologies can also be detected. In the field of computing, quantum computers are becoming more and more popular, and their current development process is particularly intense, which in turn has triggered a kind of competition between the countries interested in the subject. The estimated future usability of quantum computers for humans is currently being outlined. Regarding to the new computing capabilities, quantum informatics is closely related to artificial intelligence and military forces can gain unprecedented information superiority through the development.

Opatrenia na ochranu síl proti teroristickým hrozbám

The purpose of the article is to point out the importance of the problem and the significance of the topic of the 21” century with all the means necessary to implement force protection conditions against terrorist threats in the United States of America (USA) and in Slovak Republic. The aim of the article is to compare the structure, to define and explain the significance with a clear implementation of force protection conditions (FPCONs) as they are understood in the requirements of the USA and as they are understood in the requirements of the Slovak Republic. At the same time, the aim of the article is to clarify the methods of FPCONs against terrorist threats in the USA and in Slovak Republic, which based on elimination by timely planned processes and prepared FPCONs can be reduced to the required minimum.

Security theory: Security as a multidimensional phenomenon

People have been developing and continue to make enormous efforts, energy, and resources to ensure their safety since the beginning of their existence. The security and existence of people have been interconnected since time immemorial, and the history of mankind is, to a certain extent, also the history of the struggle for its security. That is also why the term security is one of those terms that we encounter almost daily and that we use very often throughout our lives. The term itself has several different meanings and dimensions, and with the development and ongoing changes in human society it is constantly gaining new ones. This is proof not only of the fact that the development of the security agenda is in constant progress, especially in the first two decades of the 21st century, but also that the approach of politicians, political scientists, academics, soldiers, security, and other experts to security is many times very different. Based on the above, the primary goal of the author, using relevant scientific methods within interdisciplinary research, is to contribute to the development of security science and expand the theoretical and perceptual basis of security and offer readers from the professional and lay public the opportunity to get acquainted with relevant theoretical sources and approaches to researching individual dimensions of security.

The role of the US-ROK alliance in the NATO-ROK global partnership

NATO’s attention was directed to “enlargement” and “tight connection” with Global Partnership countries as prime agenda. In this context, the main objective of this paper is to find the cause of “a loose connection” between NATO and ROK by analyzing the geopolitical concern in NEA and comparing the US-ROK alliance. Besides, we will forecast the NATO-ROK partnership through 1) an exclusive interview with Major Hwang from Korean Army, currently working at NATO, which was conducted by Mo Rang KIM, 2) interviews with twenty Korean elites, and 3) a conversation with the Director of Security Policy and Partnerships at NATO. Judging from the study, it is highly probable that 1) the US-ROK alliance would cooperate in military security, 2) NATO-ROK Partnership would cover non-traditional security.
