Abstract

The relationship between military operations and geographic technologies is based on experience and wisdom. The land and everything on it serve as a stage for military operations, with geography providing a fundamental depth for all military movements and operations. Geography is the most significant factor in the foreign policy of nations because it is more enduring. Geographic technologies act as a technological link between points, locations, or phenomena on the earth’s surface, in its atmosphere, and in its seas, connecting them with military entities. Moreover, the subject of military geography and its modern applications has gained considerable importance in global military strategy regarding the establishment of land, air, and maritime bases. This study aims to clarify the significance of these technologies in military operations and to elucidate the relationship between geographic and military domains. It includes a description of the latest geographic technologies and their military applications, citing the Geographic Information Systems model from Rolta India, which is considered one of the most successful and modern geographic systems used in military operations.
