As a military scholar

In his works, Artsrun Hovhannisyan tries to reinterpret the wars and military operations of the twentieth century. He clearly emphasizes the importance of quality features, large scale task realizations with small forces, digital control, high-precision weapons, offensive tactics and other factors. According to him, the imperial and especially the USSR military doctrines should not be blindly used in the newly created armed forces of the Republic of Armenia, as they are intended for countries with practically unlimited resources, and do not correspond to the Armenian reality. As a theorist, several of his theses and theoretical substantiations are remarkable, in particular:

  • Artsrun Hovhannisyan has his theoretical explanation of war generations. According to him, wars with automatic control systems are of fifth generation. According to Artsrun Hovhannisyan's theory, the generation of the war is based on deep economic, political, social and educational factors.[8]․ According to him, the new industrial revolution has led to a new type of war with a new nature.
  • Artsrun Hovhannisyan put forward the theory of networking-platform wars.[9][10]
  • He raised the issue of operational arts crisis, the ideas of the electronic fire battle and operations.
  • In his theory, he substantiated the six rules of air supremacy, his rules.[11]։
  • Artsrun Hovhannisyan has his own, unique justifications for irregular military operations and "hybrid wars". According to him, military science is now undergoing a transformation phase, which has brought up hybrid solutions.
  • According to him, in the future, preference will be given to irregular military operations at the tactical level, the electronic devices of defeat as a means for defeat will prevail at the operational level, and the role of the air force will be primary at the general level. It was Artsrun Hovhannisyan who, in fact, was the first in Armenian reality to claim back in 2010 that Armenia needed a strong air force, specifically mentioning the need to acquire Sukhoi Su-30 fighters,[12] as well as the capability of unmanned aerial vehicles [13]:.
  • Especially in his recent works, Artsrun Hovhannisyan tries to analyze the role of air supremacy, the need to unite the anti-aircraft warfare with air force, the theoretical and practical components of irregular military operations and the so-called "hybrid war" of the twentieth century, the issues of air supremacy and the features of use of small armies for military tactics.
  • Artsrun Hovhannisyan wrote a critical article on the future of tank building, noting a clear direction in tank building, which implies small size, structural and armament modularity, without the need for personnel, etc.[14] Three or four years after the article, NGCV OMT, Type-X and other concepts with the mentioned features appear in the West.
  • In his recent years’ works and articles Artsrun Hovhannisyan has separately discussed a number of current military issues, which were faced during the recent Artsakh war in particular.
    • the effectiveness of strikes on strategic objects,
    • problems of breaking the defensive lines,
    • the use of new tactical units, in particular battalion tactical groups,
    • the problem of time to replenish forces in modern wars, etc.
