Reducing the long term costs of military capability
Cost - Traditional complex military capability is designed and built to counter technologically sophisticated military adversaries. What low cost, simple solutions exist to address the future spectrum of potential adversary capabilities? How can we ensure military units and capabilities are sufficiently agile to fulfil a range of potential roles and counter the spectrum of adversaries? How do we introduce asymmetric capability to our advantage? How do we integrate new technologies into complex systems at affordable cost?

Maintaining advantage through enhanced technology
Exploiting the electromagnetic spectrum - How do we develop approaches to maximise the use of the electronic spectrum in congested environments to ensure commanders are able to access the information they need? How can we improve secure transmission of information? How do we integrate new and emerging technological solutions with legacy equipment to achieve this communications edge?

Information, big data and autonomy
Integrating autonomous systems - Defence is interested in addressing the integration challenges of operating these new autonomous systems with legacy military capabilities. From a people perspective - what are the opportunities, costs and risks of introducing autonomous systems? How do we effectively integrate people with autonomous systems and define the boundaries and interfaces?

The rapidly evolving operating environment
Disruptive technologies – New technologies such as High Performance Computing, quantum information processing and synthetic biology have the potential to radically change the nature and environment of warfare in the future. The key challenge for Defence is understanding the risks and opportunities presented by the technologies and forecasting when and where the impact on defence will occur. How should Defence proactively shape our doctrine and policy to maximise the benefits whilst minimising the threat to defence?

The rapidly evolving operating environment
Understanding implication of future technology - Our service personnel and systems will be threatened by the availability of a greater number of devices with diverse sensing modalities, weapon systems with longer range, enhanced lethality and an adversary who could deploy them in ways that exploit our vulnerabilities. Our ability to objectively assess threats from technological advances in areas such as cyber, unmanned systems and additive manufacturing, and quantify their consequences is key to our understanding of future risk.
