Abstract (english)

Military science is a set of different theories, knowledge and methods that can only
be comprehensively addressed through a stable and mutually passable bridge between
civilian and military educational institutions and their researchers. In the paper we
conclude that the theoretical and practical dimensions of military science cannot be
conceived without interdisciplinary integration, just as military science cannot be fully
developed without its institutionalisation in both civilian and military educational
institutions with a developed research activity. The development of military science
as a systemic science provides, on the one hand, a source of strategic thinking on
existential security issues and, on the other hand, an understanding of the benefits of
the armed forces, as the ultimate means of the state, for society.

Abstract (croatian)

Vojna znanost skup je različitih teorija, znanja i metoda koji se mogu cjelovito obraditi samo kroz stabilan i međusobno prohodan most između civilnih i vojnih obrazovnih institucija te njihovih istraživača. U radu zaključujemo kako se teorijska i praktična dimenzija vojne znanosti ne mogu zamisliti bez interdisciplinarnog povezivanja, kao što se vojna znanost ne može u potpunosti razvijati bez njezine institucionalizacije u civilnim i vojnim obrazovnim institucijama s razvijenom istraživačkom djelatnošću. Razvoj vojne znanosti kao sustavne znanosti pruža, s jedne strane, izvor strateškog promišljanja po pitanjima egzistencijalne sigurnosti, a s druge strane, razumijevanje korisnosti oružanih snaga za društvo, kao krajnjeg sredstva države.
