The expansion of «digital» as a means of achieving success in military confrontations and civil activism in modern times

Abstract

The realities of modern digital technologies in the cross-media global information environment are one of the most relevant topics of today. In light of recent military conflicts, our article attempts to identify and describe the most important aspects of digitization through the prism of contemporary military confrontations, including the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and global manifestations of civil activism. The study focuses on specific developments and innovations that demonstrate the impact of digitalization trends on Ukrainian resistance to aggression, as well as the course of other global military conflicts and civil resistance actions. To this end, technologies related to the tools used in the enemy’s resistance strategy are examined, including cutting-edge systems for information content production, search, acquisition, and processing, as well as analysis, verification, and visualization. Innovative digital developments for successful military operations, reliable defense capabilities during times of conflict, and digital communication tools and means that ensure human safety in such conditions are described. The level of reflection of the aforementioned aspects in the works of domestic and foreign researchers is demonstrated.
