TechWatch

TechWatch is our quarterly horizon-scanning technology publication. Today’s defence industry is ill-informed on which technologies might fundamentally disrupt it in the future. In order to adopt the very best innovations and processes in current and future operations, we need to keep in touch with developments in industries outside of our own.

Our 13th edition: Embracing the AI revolution - a material change for Defence and Security

In this edition we look at the rise of Artificial Intelligence and discuss what is being termed as the 'Golden Age' of materials. 


Our first deep dive explores the impact AI will have on defence and security from applications in surveillance, reconnaissance and cyber security, to robotics and autonomy and platform management. We also tackle the subject of AI Assurance and what steps need to be taken to achieve and sustain tighter regulation of the global AI industry.

Our second feature will take you deep into the world of advanced materials where we look at how science is driving the creation of materials whose exotic properties and almost supernatural characteristics are playing an essential role in our increasingly complex military systems.

In addition to our deep dives, our expert horizon-scanners have put together a collection of short news stories which discuss some of the ground breaking technologies and inspirational innovations that are currently in development across the globe.
