Artificial intelligence and autonomy are no longer just the realm of science fiction; as a key part of the fourth industrial revolution, successfully harnessing the power of this new technology will be integral to the success of future warfare.

In the warfare of today and the future, it’s the push of a button rather than the pull of a trigger. The real-world battlefield has morphed from the bloody trenches of the front line into an age of cyber warfare.

Space. Gone are the bayonets and pistols, the bows and arrows, the slingshots and stones of past warfare. Now, we have pushed into the outer limits, into a vast frontier, well beyond earth’s atmosphere.

Modern warfare has leapt forth into the era of supercomputers, satellite surveillance and artificial intelligence. Special Operations soldiers have come out of the trenches and are entering new domains of warfare.
