What does the future of war look like? Do we expect armies of robots, lazer guns, and multi terrain transforming jet fighters?
What about the strategic elements of future war, how will major powers react to the technical advances in weaponry and surveillance?
This is a fun thought experiment, but there is a deeper consideration, in delving into the current trajectory of defence for many world players a question arises, what happens when we run out of the complex systems, resources, and weapons we are investing in?
Dr. John Bruni and David Olney discuss this in depth, and give warning to industry and political leaders to consider the practical implications of their technological defence endeavours.
