Abstract :The primary environmental elements that countries encounter shape and change defense planning. Each planning phase is honored with the primary element needed to implement the change. Because of this, the period of polarization and nuclear threat is named the Threat-Based Planning Approach. Similar to this, emphasis was placed on the Capability-Based Planning Approach and the Scenario-Based Planning Approach in order to foresee the growing uncertainties following 9/11 due to the increasing relevance of talent after the Cold War. With the idea of “Industry 4.0,” the world has undergone a rapid transformation, and the idea of “digital transformation” has gained fundamental interest from people, businesses, and nations alike. With this idea, planning and development started to take shape. As a result, this circumstance also has an impact on defense planning strategies. The article’s major point is, rather than bringing about minor adjustments, to highlight how digital transformation, which has a transformative effect, starts a fundamental transition in military planning methodologies and introduces a new perspective on planning.
