Next will be a FAKE alien invasion while the gouvernements will take all that's left to the last drop. Remember that.
I was thinking about lasers from space satellites or mind control actually.
I also forgot to mention "media wars" among current wars.
I feel like this post belongs in non-credible defense, but my guess is the next evolution of drone warfare: Autonomous Combat Assistants (ACAs).
Not an official term ofc, but as AI advances, it will allow for far greater flexibility for drones by allowing them to control themselves & take commands from local forces or human leaders directly versus being a remote controlled unit.
The drone will no longer be just a remote controlled tool, but an operational assistant, saving the human some cognitive load & allowing them to devote more energy to making decisions, for better or worse.
So all armies will end up promoting big hero 6 and NextGen as movies to inspire their next soldiers? An internship at Fransokyo for all till they're promoted to MIT (or amazon warehouse) to stop thinking about weapons? Or to any equivalent R&D place in Europe or Asia/China...
Umm... No? I mean i guess it's nice to think that. Sorry, i dont have a bone of humour in my body 🤷🏿♂️.
It's more like morals & steadfast principles will sought after more in soldiers & the ability to make decisions under pressure will be more valuable per soldier than it already is.
Not sure what to say about IT grads, but given we're entering a more "your security is your problem" world, defense budgets are gonna keep rising, and ofc that money is going to much more than troop & equipment procurement
(im not in the military, this is all guesses from listening to IR & geopolitical & military podcasts & stuff)
I think AI bot-soldiers could be used to replace real soldiers who are now protecting borders and monuments around the world, not sure about real soldiers used in defense. In that case I think drones will play the major role for a long time. The AI used in soldier helmets might help but not so much if you consider it's already used in the form of algorithms: AI will be just an upgrade
