Verquickung der mathematischen und informatischen Forschung an zivilen deutschen Hochschulen mit der modernen Kriegsführung

Abstract

Central aspects of modern warfare such as drone attacks, guided missiles, cyber attacks or the use of reconnaissance satellites would not be possible without contemporary mathematical and computer science research. This dissertation will revolve about the following questions: What impact does the connection between military application and civil research have on mathematics and computer science? What impact does the research have on society? And what ethical and societal questions arise from that?
