요약 | War and military operations other than war will endure as viable policy options, though these are fraught with risks and costs. Technology has the potential only to modify these realities, but not to eliminate them completely. As the state of the art in technology changes, it is always important to consider the effects of new technologies on military options. In the second decade of the 21st century, several emerging technological areas expected to reshape civilization have been identified. Three of these technological fields are advance computing, nanotechnology, and biotechnology. All three of these are in general dual-use, meaning that the only certainty with these technologies is that there will be military applications. However, the history of technological prediction, futurism, is littered both with failed dreams and unexpected challenges that have slowed development. The long and troubled development of ubiquitous (military) space access and directed energy weapons (DEWs) round out any discussion on emerging military technologies. Today's emerging technologies (ETs) are poised to change the world and therefore the shape of international relations as well as military affairs. |
