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. Ministry of Defence, 2018
