THE FUTURE OF WARFARE
Contemporary military forces face unprecedented technological transformation through the convergence of hypersonic weapons, advanced cyber warfare capabilities, quantum computing applications, and directed energy systems. This course examines how these emerging technologies are reshaping strategic balance, operational doctrine, and national security frameworks.
Analysis reveals that while the United States maintains technological advantages in certain domains, strategic competitors China and Russia have achieved significant breakthroughs that challenge traditional defense paradigms.
Hypersonic weapons are altering strike capabilities and defense timelines, cyber warfare has evolved into persistent strategic competition, quantum technologies promise revolutionary advances in secure communications and computing, and directed energy weapons are approaching operational viability for counter-drone and precision strike missions.WAR001 - AI and Autonomous Weapons
