A. Walter Dorn teaches military officers and civilians at the Canadian Forces College (CFC) and at the Royal Military College of Canada. He is an associate professor of defense studies and chair of the Department of Security and International Affairs at CFC. He has both studied and served on UN peace operations, and he has worked as a consultant to the UN's Department of Peacekeeping Operations.
Explores how technologies can increase the range, effectiveness and accuracy of UN observation. It also identifies potential problems and pitfalls with modern technologies and the challenges to incorporate them into the UN system. It examines the few cases of technologies effectively harnessed in the field and offers creative recommendations to overcome the institutional inertia and widespread misunderstandings about how technology can complement human initiative.
