Total length of the course: <1 hour
Military technology has always shaped the conduct of war, but the pace and complexity of change today is testing assumptions that have held for decades. In this conversation, we ask what role data plays on the modern battlefield, then build through foundational concepts like the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) and the hider-finder dynamic to the role of sensors and AI in contemporary conflict. We finish by asking how states and military alliances such as NATO can keep up with a technological environment that seems to move at an increasing and almost bewildering speed.
