In this edition our deep dive explores operationalising autonomous systems. This piece delves into how defence’s use of existing technologies is changing. Recent conflicts have provided a testing ground for technology and have proven the value of uncrewed platforms. Technology is evolving, as is our understanding of how to use the massively increased information feed to make better, faster decisions. We assess the benefits, challenges and key choices of how autonomous systems are being implemented in defence.
In addition to our deep dives, our expert horizon-scanners have put together a collection of short news stories which discuss some of the ground-breaking technologies and inspirational innovations that are currently in development across the globe. Highlighting technologies that may change the defence landscape, from solar paint able to produce electricity from sunlight, a drone weighing only 4.2 grams and a ground breaking quantum atomic clock.
