NATO has traditionally relied on its technological superiority to offset the Warsaw Pact's numerical advantage. This equation, however, is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain. Despite NATO's considerably greater outlays for defense, the numerical balance continues to favor the Warsaw Pact and the technological "gap" between East and West is narrowing. To rectify this situation NATO has two courses of actionóembrace a spectrum of new technologies which offer the prospect of dramatic improvements in capability, or extract better value for the money from its defense allocations. These two possibilities need not be mutually exclusive, although historically they have been. Clearly, NATO must reform its approach to weapons procurement if it is to exploit new technology as effectively as possible in periods of budgetary stringency. The need for reform is evident: The Warsaw Pact spends less than NATO on defense but outproduces NATO in virtually every weapons category. This volume examines these problems and shows that in order to exploit available technologies at an affordable cost, NATO clearly must organize its defense procurement more efficiently.

In a groundbreaking contribution to the international relations literature, Kromer examines the historical experience of NATO with new weapons technologies and analyzes their effect on alliance stability. Concentrating specifically on new, innovative, radically different technologies--rather than on modifications or upgrades to existing weapons systems--Kromer uses a focused comparison methodology to develop his arguments. His study takes the form of detailed case studies and comparative analysis of two particular new weapons technologies: tactical nuclear weapons and precision guided munitions. For each, Kromer explores the political effects and implications of the new technology, an area of study that has received little attention until now.
In this important new study from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Moody examines how NATO can best exploit advanced technology to bolster its conventional forces on the battlefield of the future. The Dreadful Fury is a unique analysis integrating the political, military, economic, and technological factors shaping the tough choices confronting Atlantic Alliance policy makers. Drawing on the author's experience at NATO Headquarters, the book's focus on alliance rather than national perspectives of military technology provides an unusual approach to one of the most difficult challenges facing NATO today. After a brief review of the nature of technological change in the modern age, the book examines the shifting industrial landscape within which that change occurs. It then addresses the key problems Alliance policy makers must confront in such critical areas as technology transfer, allied cooperation in development and procurement of modern arms, and the impact of new technology on the conduct of war. In the book's final chapter, a package of policy recommendations is offered to help chart a steady NATO course through the turbulent 1990s.
