Future challenges
Defence systems have always relied
on the most advanced technologies,
which for decades were mainly
designed and developed in the military
sphere (e.g. advanced sensors, secure
communications, stealth technology).
However, future warfare will be
characterised more and more by a
system architecture approach, which
takes advantage of new emerging and
disruptive technologies (e.g. AI,
quantum computing, 5G, biotech-
nology, human augmentation, novel
materials) that are mainly driven by
huge investments in the commercial
sector. Although the defence industry
will not be at the forefront of devel-
opments in such technologies, it is
indispensable to adapt and translate
