This thesis intends to offer an explanation to the evolution of war along technological developments mainly focusing in laser systems. The anthropological discussion of the study is based on Actor-Network Theory revealing the interaction among human and nonhuman participants of war network. Laser weapon systems are explained supported by the literature search, fieldwork, and interviews. The study seeks to demonstrate an alternative future perception of war with the integration of laser systems. The redefined character of war can be described as laser-integrated flexible network with human actors and non-human actants on a whole engagement spectrum, across all domains, and all phases of conflicts with tactical and strategic implications on battlespace. While human actors are still the main decision-makers in war network, human wisdom is critically important more than ever.
