About

Silvio Leuteritz is a scholar whose work critically examines the evolving landscape of modern warfare, with a particular focus on the intersection of technology, asymmetric conflict, and state power. His research centers on how emerging technologies—especially drones, microelectronics, and information systems—are reshaping the nature of combat and challenging traditional state-centric models of war. Leuteritz’s most cited work, “Drones @ Combat” (2016), with 6 citations, offers a prescient analysis of how unmanned systems and digital technologies are driving a shift from classical, state-based warfare to more diffuse, asymmetric forms of conflict characterized by terrorism and non-state actors. This contribution is notable for its early synthesis of technological change with geopolitical theory, providing a framework for understanding the strategic implications of drone warfare and information dominance. Leuteritz’s scholarship is essential for students and researchers seeking to grasp the profound transformations in 21st-century security, as he bridges the gap between historical military paradigms and the disruptive realities of the digital age.
