The DTIC Review: Volume 2. Number 2, Future Directions - Preparing for the 21st Century

Abstract

What can we expect in the 21st century, the new millennium, the future, the year 2000 and beyond? Numerous rousing questions confront researchers, philosophers, scientists and engineers involved in transitioning technology to current and future systems. This issue of the DTIC Review addresses the ideas, strategic trends, nature of warfare, emerging technologies, air and space, military theory and other factors necessary to conform with the conditions and demands of the 21st century. The authors challenge convictions of the current environment and present a range of conjectural theories on conditions, capabilities and technologies of the next three decades. The selected documents and bibliography are a representation of the information available on emerging technologies and technology forecasting from DTIC's collection.
