Reiner K. Huber is emeritus professor at the German Armed Forces University Munich (UniBwM) where he held the chair of Operations Research and Systems Analysis (with emphasis on defense and security issues) from 1975 to 2000. Prior to this appointment he was head of the systems studies division of IABG which he had joined in 1964 as an analyst after three years of military service in the German Air Force. IABG was the German Defense Ministry’s modeling and analysis institution founded in the early 1960s to support weapon systems and operations assessment, and defense planning. His research at UniBwM included, among others, exploratory analysis for improving military stability in Central Europe between NATO and WP and, after the disintegration of the WP and USSR, the stability of multipolar defense arrangements on a regional and global scale.
