Where will the next war occur? A top Pentagon official says victory in the global fight against terrorism is achievable, … Footage shows 2016 drone swarm test over lake in California – video, September’s successful strike on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia. Airborne Platforms EW equipment is gradually shifting from the ground-based platforms to airborne platforms due to miniaturisation and better electro-magnetic interference management, especially those dealing with Electronic Support (ES) functions such as interception and … The Air Force has never fielded such a small and old fleet of aircraft in its entire history. — The Air Force needs industry's help to take its next-generation command-and-control systems to the next level, the service chief of staff said March 2. FUTURE UNDERSEA WARFARE PERSPECTIVES • Advanced nonacoustic sensors (e.g., electronic sup-port measures for signal intercept and direction finding; optical and laser rangefinders; thermal imag-ing sensors; and automatic rotation, recording, and display mast systems) • Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation • Modern communications 14 However, the Air Force has not established a formal acquisition program, so the OA-X’s future is uncertain. The democratisation of weaponisable technology empowers non-state actors and individuals to create havoc on a massive scale. SOCOM expressed its disappointment, arguing to field this capability. Western military inventories have drastically shrunk in past years, as ships and aircraft have become more sophisticated and too expensive to purchase in large quantities (which, in turn, raises the cost of each vessel or plane). Technology of deploying drones in squadrons is in its infancy, but armed forces are investing millions in its development. Data is used to micro-target people into radicalisation and into driving divisions in societies. A force that averages over a quarter of a century in age, well before the rise of wireless connectivity and Current trends can perhaps be best be discerned by looking at each of the characteristics that define combat vehicles – firepower, protection (survivability), and mobility, as well as command and control and situational awareness. Evaluating statistical trends in historic air-to-air combat allows for a methodical approach in analysing the effectiveness of the types of weapon systems which were used, and those which may be required in the future. teams and analyzed a wide range of issues related to airpower and future warfare, including air operations in urban environments and against elusive targets, airbase vulnerability, combat aircrew skill acquisition and retention, tanker and airlift operations, aerial ISR, and fire support How will they be fought? A Russian general presents what he says are drones that were intercepted near the Khmeimim base. It identified three dozen or so geopolitical; military; space, nuclear, and cyber; restraint; economic; and environmental trends that will shape the future of warfare from now until 2030. For now, military drone use is dominated by lightweight surveillance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and larger attack UAVs. Drones are a cheap way to boost the sheer size of a force. The Trends & Challenges of 21st Century Air Power. António Guterres, the UN secretary-general, said in a speech last year: “The prospect of machines with the discretion and power to take human life is morally repugnant.”. Reaper MQ-9. And why will the United States go to war? Humans couldn’t handle the complexity of that degree of coordination. How will emerging technologies shape the conduct and consequences of war? In this issue: what Dstl’s Intelligent Ship competition tells us about the future of naval warfare, what to expect from this year's DSEI, views on emerging cybersecurity threats from the National Cyber Security Centre and industry, how pilots will train for sixth-generation fighter jets, the latest in covert threat detection, and more. vi Military Trends and the Future of Warfare Future Projection: Chinese Capabilities Will Almost Certainly Improve in the Next Ten to 15 Years, but Russia’s Future Progress Is Less Assured..... 26 Implications for the U.S. Air Force and the Future of Warfare..... 29 CHAPTER FOUR Trend 3: The Development of Asymmetric Strategies by Second- Drones may one day develop the capacity to carry out targeted killings in swarms. The prior focus on counterinsurgency, counterterrorism, an… Future Trends | 6 necessary to address top national security threats, are in dire need of reset. Combined arms warfare (including heavy armor, artillery, and close air support) in urban scenarios remains part of our future. This volume of the Future of Warfare series examines some of the most notable economic trends that could affect U.S. national … This increase in the procurement of various aircraft and UAV programs is expected to generate demand in North America for the airborne electronic warfare … The drones used to attack Khmeimim and the Saudi facilities were likely to have been programmed with the GPS coordinates of their targets and then launched in their direction. Increasingly these features are interconnected, not just at the system level but also functionally. This series of reports examines these questions from multiple perspectives, focusing on the geopolitical, military, economic, environmental, legal, and informational trends that will shape the future of warfare through 2030. “If you think about the logistics of having a lot of sophisticated drones that can pick out individuals, process the data, communicate with each other, navigate a city … there’s a lot of moving parts to that and it’s very expensive,” Watling says. 01/28/2020. “Russia maintains a lot of commonalities. This volume of the Future of Warfare series examines some of the most notable economic trends that could affect U.S. national security: increasing pressure on the global trading system, relative declines in U.S. and allied economic might, the rise of China, the search for new resources, the shrinking defense industrial base, and the decreasing power of U.S. sanctions. Candidate, Pardee RAND Graduate School. Part of what makes drones so attractive is their low cost, Scharre adds. Drawing upon decades of experience, RAND provides research services, systematic analysis, and innovative thinking to a global clientele that includes government agencies, foundations, and private-sector firms. Why? Then more, until 13 were flashing on radars, speeding towards the airbase and a nearby naval facility. It also threatens stability by offering states more options in the form of “hybrid” warfare and the use of proxies to create plausible deniability and strategic ambiguity. Second, it examines key influential trends: domestic pressures; societal changes; precision and space; the electro-magnetic spectrum; proliferation of unmanned systems; and technological change. Symonds’ report is well-researched and addresses a wide array of contemporary issues and conceptual challenges, ranging from the renewed relevance of Article 5 for NATO to the likely implications of introducing AI to warfare. “But imagine a world where you have 50 fielders and 50 balls. Peter L. Hickman. The attempted attacks continued and in September the Russian army said it had downed nearly 60 drones around the Khmeimim base so far this year. Russia has a new turret with a 30mm cannon and missile; that will be fitted onto their tracked vehicles and IFVs." Third, the paper … Global Economic Trends and the Future of Warfare: The Changing Global Environment and Its Implications for the U.S. Air Force. Disruptive technologies, asymmetric threats and a changing geo-political landscape are only a few of the challenges facing today’s Air Force. This report is the overview in a series that seeks to answer these questions about the future of warfare in 2030. !In the next chapter a discussion of the future trends of military robot-ics research and their applications will be ana-lyzed. The Air Force is currently upgrading the EC-130H Compass Call EW payloads, and it also has plans to procure 12 EC-37s during the next decade. Future jammers are likely to be expendable (including air dropped) and mounted on unmanned ground vehicles. The Pardee RAND Graduate School (PRGS.edu) is the largest public policy Ph.D. program in the nation and the only program based at an independent public policy research organization—the RAND Corporation. This volume of the Future of Warfare series examines the most significant trends in factors affecting the use of restraint in warfare that could affect U.S. national security: the spread of lawfare, the widespread distribution of imagery of U.S. military operations, the increasing effectiveness of false accusations, and the increasing public concern for civilian casualties. A US navy launch of multiple swarming drones. “If you had a protective shield of unmanned service vehicles, they could intercept that before it happens,” he says. This situation is unlikely to change in the near future: according to defence experts at the information group Jane’s, orders for both types of device are expected to increase dramatically in the decade ahead. This transformation may be steadily reducing the utility of some attributes traditionally associated with fighter aircraft … The U.S. Army Told Us How they Plan to Fight a War in 2040. Why and how will it be fought? Read the latest edition of Air Warfare for free in our app or on your desktop. That might include swarms of drones operating on multiple different frequencies, so they are more resistant to jamming, or swarms that can block or shoot down multiple threats more quickly than the human brain can process. Israel is already using hordes of drones to overwhelm Syrian air defences, saturating areas with more targets than anti-aircraft systems can handle. /content/admin/rand-header/jcr:content/par/header/reports, /content/admin/rand-header/jcr:content/par/header/blogPosts, /content/admin/rand-header/jcr:content/par/header/multimedia, /content/admin/rand-header/jcr:content/par/header/caseStudies, /content/rand/paf/projects/future-of-warfare/jcr:content/par/teaserlist, Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center, Trust in the CDC Declined During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Violent Extremism in America: Firsthand Accounts, Don't Muddy the Objectives on Fighting Domestic Extremism, The Japan-U.S. Standardisation and commonality are key for overmatch, consequently, overmatch is partly gone explains Foss. In mid-September, the defence community was surprised to learn that the USAF had secretly flown a full-scale prototype of a Next-Generation Air Dominance platform. By Loren DeJonge Schulman and Erin Simpson. In 2016, the US released video of more than 100 micro-drones over a lake in California manoeuvring as “a collective organism, sharing one distributed brain for decision-making and adapting to each other like swarms in nature”, an air force scientist said. And how will they impact civilian security? McMaster, we learned that “American forces must cope with the political and human dynamics of war in complex, uncertain environments. Please wait... By Air Marshal BK Pandey. “The real leap forward is swarming where … a human says ‘Go accomplish this task’ and the robots in the swarm communicate amongst each other about how to divvy it up,” Scharre says. Analysts predict we might see rudimentary versions of the technology in use within a decade. The technology of swarming – drones deployed in squadrons, able to think independently and operate as a pack – is in its infancy, but armed forces around the world, including in the UK, are investing millions of pounds in its development. Their reluctance would be more about expense than ethics. This volume of the Future of Warfare series examines some of the most significant factors shaping military trends over the next ten to 15 years: changes in the size, quality, and character of military forces available to the United States and its potential adversaries. “They might be thinking, ‘This will be useful.’ But nobody really knows yet what it can do.”. The United States may progressively lose the initiative to dictate strategic outcomes and to shape when and why conflicts occur. Raphael S. Cohen, Nathan Chandler, Shira Efron, Bryan Frederick, Eugeniu Han, Kurt Klein, Forrest E. Morgan, Ashley L. Rhoades, Howard J. Shatz, Yuliya Shokh. “Imagine someone looking at an airplane in 1912,” he says. As evening fell on Russia’s Khmeimim airbase in western Syria, the first drones appeared. RAND is nonprofit, nonpartisan, and committed to the public interest. In 2017, advocates of a ban against autonomous weapons released a short film, Slaughterbots, depicting a dystopian future where terrorists could unleash swarms of tiny drones capable of identifying and killing specific people. The Congress has supported the … “Western militaries are trying to find ways to add numbers to the equation, to complement these expensive, bespoke aircraft and ships with cheaper systems that can augment them,” Scharre says. The Joint Force will likely face multiple types of conflict, each requiring different capabilities, even as its ability to sustain a quantitative or even qualitative edge over adversaries will likely decline. The dustbin of history is full of predictions of technological innovations that would surely change the nature of warfare. “It was the first instance of a mass-drone attack and the highest number of drones that I believe we’ve seen non-state actors use simultaneously in a combat operation,” says Paul Scharre, a defence analyst and author who studies the weaponisation of artificial intelligence. First, it examines the contemporary schools of war: threshold warfare (Russia); proxy warfare (Iran); coercion and economic warfare (China); brinkmanship (North Korea); and terrorism. Addressing the question of how often more lethal or effective weaponry determines tactical outcomes requires the examination of statistical data. Robots could handle that with precision.”. Ultimately, he adds, it may be fruitless to try to predict the future of swarming technology from the vantage point of 2019. This volume of the Future of Warfare series examines some of the most significant environmental and geographic trends that could affect U.S. national security and the future of warfare: rising global temperatures, the opening of the Arctic, sea level rise, extreme weather events, water scarcity, and increasing urbanization. The explosives-armed aircraft were no trouble for Russian air defences, which shot down seven and jammed the remaining six, according to the country’s defence ministry. A test at China Lake, California, shows drone swarms forming an attack orbit. by the U.S. Air Force. Subscribe to the weekly Policy Currents newsletter to receive updates on the issues that matter most. While U.S. adversaries will likely remain constant, allies are liable to change, if not on paper then in practice. Improved avionics providing better beyond visual range (BVR) capability to fighter aircraft. “If you look back at the USS Cole bombing – that boat was just sitting as an open target at that port in Yemen,” says Dan Gettinger, a co-director at the Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College, referring to the October 2000 attack by two boat-borne al-Qaida suicide bombers that killed 17 American sailors. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Modern Warfare Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026) The Artificial Intelligence in Modern Warfare Market is Segmented by Type of Equipment (Unnamed Aerial Vehicle, Unmanned Ground Vehicle, Combat Systems, Recovery and Maintenance Vehicle, Reconnaissance and Surveillance Vehicle, Medical Evacuation Vehicle), and Geography. Future Trends in Army Air Defence Systems Increased reliance on stealth by fighter/bomber aircraft. Sometimes they are even physically integrated. In an industry where gaining advantage can be the difference between mission success and failure, standing still has never been an option for military organizations and defense in-service support providers, and least of all during the next 12 months. The most likely locations for future conflict are not necessarily those most dangerous to American interests, further complicating the U.S. ability to prepare for contingencies. In tests last year, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency claimed a small squadron of its drones had successfully shared information, allocated jobs and made coordinated tactical decisions against both pre-programmed and “pop-up” threats. The US navy has already announced breakthroughs in autonomous boats that could sweep for mines, or serve effectively as bodyguards for larger, manned vessels. Across their fleet, they utilise two calibres, 125mm for tanks and 30mm for IFVs. When it is technically difficult to attribute an attack – already true with cyber, and becoming an issue with … “In considera… What's inside this edition: Comment. The RAND Corporation is a research organization that develops solutions to public policy challenges to help make communities throughout the world safer and more secure, healthier and more prosperous. Stillion concludes that these advances may have fundamentally transformed the nature of air combat. Who will fight? polarization and retrenchment, China's rise, Asia's realignment, emergence of a revanchist Russia, upheaval in Europe, and turmoil in the Islamic world—that will drive conflict between now and 2030. But the failed attack in January last year was disturbing to close observers of drone warfare. Features include: DISTRIBUTED CONTROL. To meet future demands, the Joint Force and the U.S. Air Force will need to invest in more precision, information, and automation; build additional capacity; maintain a robust forward posture; and reinforce agility at all levels of warfare. Armoured vehicle commonality is not widespread amongst NATO nations. Using this data, Stillion assesses how advances in sensor, weapons, and communication technologies have changed air combat and the implications of these trends for future combat aircraft designs and operational concepts. needed for land, sea and air based combat. Smoke rises from Saudi Aramco’s Abqaiq oil processing facility on 14 September. Advances in swarming technology are mostly classified, though governments have given glimpses of their progress. Where will these future conflicts be fought? More affordable, and therefore more likely to be procured, he says, will be drone swarms that perform relatively simple tasks such as cluttering radar systems to distract and confuse enemy sensors. Some would like to revert back to standoff warfare, but per Lt. Gen. H.R. Key Military Technology Trends: 2020 and Beyond.

The United States will face a series of strategic dilemmas over the next decade. This volume of the Future of Warfare series explains six geopolitical trends—U.S. But the assaults on Khmeimim, as well as September’s successful strike on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, were early flashes of a possible future for aerial warfare: drone swarming. But militaries are not certain to adopt such technology, says Jack Watling, a senior fellow at the Royal United Services Institute.
