Abstract

Rad se bavi evolucijom naoružanja i ratovanja kroz povijest, od otkrića baruta pa sve do danas.
Naglasak se stavlja na period od 17. – 21. stoljeća koji je podijeljen u pet generacija ratovanja
koje se donekle međusobno preklapaju. Svaka generacija ratovanja je nadogradnja na prošlu i
obuhvaća određeni period u prošlosti, a međusobno se razlikuju po naoružanju i načinu, odnosno
taktici, ratovanja. Bitke prve generacije, koja započinje u 17. stoljeću, zasnivaju se na brojnosti
ljudi i jednostavnim strategijama ratovanja što se vidi na primjerima Napoleonovih ratova. Uz
jednostavne strategije koriste se mačevi i najjednostavniji oblici pušaka. Druga generacija
obuhvaća period Prvog svjetskog rata u kojem dominira rovovsko ratovanje. Obilježava je razvoj
tenka, zrakoplova i kemijsko-biološkog naoružanja. U trećoj generaciji, gdje spada Drugi
svjetski rat, mobilnost i manevar donose prevagu u dobivanju bitaka. Dalje se usavršava
postojeće naoružanje i otkriva nuklearno. Pojava psihološkog ratovanja u trećoj generaciji
naznaka je drugačijeg načina ratovanja. Četvrta i peta generacija su generacije
nekonvencionalnog ratovanja tj. ratovanja informacijama i manipulacija vođama, vojskom i
civilima.

Abstract (english)

The paper discusses the evolution of weapons and warfare throughout history, from the
development of gunpowder to the present day. Emphasis is placed on the period of the 17th-21st
century, which is divided into five generations of warfare. Each generation of warfare is a
upgraded version of the previous one and marks a certain period in the past and differs from
others in terms of inventions and methods of warfare. The battles of the first generation, which
began in the 17th century, were based on the mass power and not on simple warfare strategies, as
can be seen in the examples of the Napoleonic wars. In addition to simple strategies and swords,
the simplest forms of guns are also used. The second generation covers the period of the First
World War and inventions such as heavy machines that dominated trench warfare. The second
generation is marked by the development of tanks, airplanes and chemical-biological weapons.
In the third generation, mobility and maneuver bring advantage in winning battles. With the
appearance of psychological warfare in the third generation, a sign for a different way of warfare
appears. The fourth and fifth generations are generations of unconventional warfare, i.e.
information warfare and manipulation of leaders, the military and civilians.
