Vision 2020 and Beyond: Workshop on Emerging Cyber WarFighting Technologies
Abstract
This workshop will bring together a diverse group of intellectual leaders with strong interest and credentials in long-term forecasting or future-casting of warfare technology. The time frame of interest is approximately 2050. While many of currently existing technologies and even specific weapon systems will likely to be still widely used in a hypothetical conflict of 2050, it is also likely that major changes will occur in ways and means of war-fighting. The dominant technological changes, including those of war-fighting, of the last few decades had much to do with Information Age. Therefore, we assume that continuing evolution (and possibly revolutionary changes) of information technologies, including robotics, smart munitions, ubiquitous sensing, extreme networking, along with potentially massive impact of cyber warfare, will be the forcing function of what will happen in war-fighting technologies between now and 2050. The workshop will critically examine and modify or reject this assumption as needed.
