Abstract
States' military adaptations to the Industrial Revolution offer intriguing parallels to the contemporary information technology-driven revolution in military affairs (RMA). The new instruments of war (the rifle, railroad and telegraph) perfectly embodied the character of the industrial age. They were the result of new techniques of mass-production, huge in scale, and powered by new motive resources like steam and electricity. Yet successful adaptation by states required an ‘informational revolution’ – new ways of thinking, organizing, and linking technological and social processes. The nineteenth-century RMA was also an information RMA.
