The new arms race: 7 technologies that could decide who wins the next big war
The next major war may begin with silent cyberattacks and autonomous drone swarms. Artificial intelligence and networked systems are making weapons faster and deadlier. Hypersonic missiles and laser weapons offer new defensive and offensive capabilities. Electronic warfare and satellite capabilities are becoming increasingly critical in modern conflict. Nations are integrating diverse…
The modern battlefield is undergoing a revolutionary transformation, with the next major war potentially beginning not with tanks or fighter aircraft but with cyberattacks, jamming of satellite communications, autonomous drone swarms, or advanced artificial intelligence systems. This new era of warfare is marked by faster algorithms, enhanced control of the electromagnetic spectrum, and sophisticated energy weapons.
Rather than focusing on a single "wonder weapon," military powers are striving to integrate these emerging technologies into an interconnected fighting machine.
