Abstract

Although the demise of the Warsaw Pact in 1989 has changed the landscape of the world, rogue states, terrorism, natural disasters and other crisis situations remain as hostile threats to all nations. Terrorist bombings (including weapons of mass destruction and disruption), earthquakes, floods, environmental disasters and a host of other catastrophes may cause devastation with loss of lives and considerable property damage. Terrorist cyber attacks and organized crime may cause devastating economic harm. At the same time, nations are faced with defense of their homeland against new threats from rogue states. The resulting future challenges to the Bulgarian government include: strategic assets, fixed bases being at risk; maritime forces in the littoral being at risk; and a growing incidence of urban conflict.
