The military has long been a leader in technology, but rapid advancements are changing the nature of war. These include advanced computing, "big data" analytics, artificial intelligence, autonomy, robotics, directed energy, hypersonics, and more.

These technologies are improving military force protection and providing advantages in combat and non-combat situations. Some are designed to be used on the ground or in the air, while others are being developed for use in space and beyond. They are a testament to the innovation, curiosity, and commitment of some of the world’s finest engineers and scientists.

AI is already being used in military systems, including computer vision that enables equipment safety management and autonomous weaponry, and by enabling soldiers to become more nimble using swarm computing. It also enhances computational military reasoning for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
