"Spatial Technologies and Transformations in Modern Military Geography: Towards an Integrated Model to Enhance Operational Readiness and Support Field Geographic Decision-Making"

Abstract

This research paper explores the transformative role of spatial technologies in reshaping modern military geography by analyzing their direct contribution to operational decision-making and field readiness. Adopting a descriptive-analytical methodology supported by a hypothetical case study, the study demonstrates how tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and spatial analysis have become integral to military planning and operational execution. The findings reveal that integrating these technologies within military command structures enhances surveillance capabilities, predictive accuracy, and tactical performance. A proposed integrative model is presented, showcasing how these tools can be effectively deployed in real-world operational environments, alongside practical recommendations for institutional and human resource development.
