Futures Assessed Alongside Socio-Technical Evolutions (FATE)

Abstract

Identifying a need to systematically monitor emerging technologies and identify socio-technical disruptions, the Systems Analysis Studies Research Task Group 123 (SAS-123) was created. During its three-year mandate (subsequently extended by one year), the study attracted steady participation from nine NATO Nations, Allied Command Transformation, Sweden and, in a first for the STO, Singapore. The Task Group had two main objectives: Develop criteria to evaluate and analyze the simultaneous interactions between two variables, namely, scenarios of the future and Socio-Technical Systems (STS); and Assess the ability of these interacting variables to cause disruptions within the defence and security sectors.
