Application of geomorphological studies in the strategies of military, defense and security

Abstract

Awareness of military and security strategies against foreign threats has been taken into consideration since the beginning of the formation of civilizations. military geography has been a leading and decisive science in all scenes, conflicts and international conflicts, and some of the conquerors of the commanders have called geography warlords. Today, military geomorphology has emerged as a modern science of merit and applicability in political and international crises, and a close connection has been made between geopolitical knowledge, military science and geomorphology. In this research, using the information, statistics, maps, satellite images, the role of geomorphology in the formulation of military, defense and security strategies was evaluated. According to the study, it was determined that any military, defense and security strategy implementation without geomorphologic analysis is condemned to failure. Therefore, using digital and high-altitude (DEM) models, military geomorphologic maps, geographic information system (GIS) ), Remote sensing (RS), Route optimization, and Site Selection, the View Shed design is mandatory for any offensive and defensive operations.
