Abstract | |
The motivation of addressing such a topic has as argument to ensure, educationally speaking, the best connection to the real aspects of critical infrastructure issues. We considered that there are postgraduate training programs at national level, which must implement case studies, in view of achieving the purposes resulting from the curriculum, as close to reality, by replicating some sensitive aspects of the relevant decision, which meet the training needs of students, in accordance with occupational standards. Being a complex area, the challenge is to best select the most relevant aspects to be played in terms of teaching, in a manner benefi cial to the fi nality of integrating the system, technical and operational perspectives. | |

Abstract | |
Naval Base as part of Integrated Fleet Weapon System has an important role in maintaining the strategic environment in the region of Indonesia. Naval Base with a strategic location will support Indonesian Navy’s main duty to carry out the administrative and logistical support. Due to the limitation of Naval Base’s condition, feasibility study will be required to relocate the Naval Base. In this feasibility study, a combination of methods between SWOT analysis and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used. The results of the Internal Factors Evaluation (IFE) Matrix Analysis is 4.72 and External Factors Evaluation (EFE) Matrix Analysis is 2.91. In general, the balance of power between the IFE Matrix and EFE Matrix is located in Quadrants I and thus, the Aggressive Strategy is supported. While the Matrix Analysis’ result of Internal - External (IE) showed that the score of IFE and EFE located in Quadrant II and VII. | |

DIVERGENT OR CONVERGENT TRENDS IN PROFESSIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION IN SLOVENIA? Maja GARB Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia |
|
Abstract | |
There is a decade long discussion about the professional military education in Slovenia. The country has developed its own military force after the independence in 1991. Since the lack of the professional offi cers corps there was a decision adopted to have a convergent system of staffi ng the military with the offi cers. The future offi cers have to obtain high school or university degree at civilian education institutions, after that they get the military training and education provided by the Slovenian Armed Forces. However, there have been some insuffi ciencies in the system and therefore the ideas how to change the system of professional military education in Slovenia have been constantly raised. There are several questions on military education in Slovenia that are presented and discussed in the paper in the framework of divergence and convergence of the military and its parent society. | |

NATO RESILIENCE STRATEGY TOWARDS RUSSIAN HYBRID WARFARE Liliana FILIP National University of Political Science and Public Administration, Bucharest, Romania |
|
Abstract | |
Faced with the greatest security challenges of this generation, the Nord Atlantic Alliance is currently implementing the most signifi cant strategy for strengthening its collective defense capabilities since the end of the Cold War. While the public attention has focused on NATO’s military adaptation, the concerted efforts to strengthen the Alliance’s ability to withstand and recover from a military attack, have so far been less visible. However, this is changing. At the 2016 Alliance high level meeting in Warsaw, NATO leaders agreed on an unprecedented commitment to “increase resilience”. The 28 Allies work urgently to put this commitment into practice. But how to understand this NATO resilience? | |

Abstract | |
In this paper, it is shown that GIS and photogrammetry technologiyes, determination of searching target coordinates for the operational desicion making are very important for the military application, for the combat control. With aim of orthophotomap making of the terrain and identifi cation of terrain supervision there has been constructed 3D model for choosen mountainous terrain of Azerbaijan Republic using GIS technology. Based on this model there has been obtained a terrain profi le and carried out mapping. Using ArcGis software there has been investigated possibility remain control on obserbvable and unobservable parties of terrain on supervision line from supervision point to target point. | |

AUTOMATING THE DATA SECURITY PROCESS Florin OGÎGĂU-NEAMŢIU Head of IT Office, Regional Department of Defense Resources Management Studies, Braşov, România |
|
Abstract | |
Contemporary organizations face big data security challenges in the cyber environment due to modern threats and actual business working model which relies heavily on collaboration, data sharing, tool integration, increased mobility, etc. The nowadays data classifi cation and data obfuscation selection processes (encryption, masking or tokenization) suffer because of the human implication in the process. Organizations need to shirk data security domain by classifying information based on its importance, conduct risk assessment plans and use the most cost effective data obfuscation technique. The paper proposes a new model for data protection by using automated machine decision making procedures to classify data and to select the appropriate data obfuscation technique. The proposed system uses natural language processing capabilities to analyze input data and to select the best course of action. The system has capabilities to learn from previous experiences thus improving itself and reducing the risk of wrong data classifi cation | |

ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE DIMENSIONS AND VARIABLES Brînduşa Maria POPA Regional Department of Defense Resources Management Studies, Braşov, România |
|
Abstract | |
There are numerous defi nitions of the concept in the specialized literature and the majority present organizational culture as a system of values, norms, rules, beliefs, habits learned and internalized by the organization members and embodied in their behaviors. Such defi nitions highlight the fact that organizational culture is a system of values, norms, customs and beliefs shared and assimilated by the entire membership of the organization in order to transform them into inherent characteristics of their behavior. The newly acquired behavior will be promoted, defended and developed throughout their work. Even if organizational culture is built upon such a strict, rigid, formal institutional support, it evolves and develops in order to help the organization adapt and perform effi ciently. In order to have an easier understanding of the concept, in this paper we shall use for our analysis the following dimensions: cognitive, normative, human and material. | |
