Science & Technology Trends: 2020-2040
NATO
NATO, as an alliance of like-minded countries, strives for peace, security, and stability across the EuroAtlantic area. It continues to provide the essential framework for defence and security collaboration across the operational spectrum, be it collective defence, crisis management or cooperative security. But today’s NATO faces a dangerous, unpredictable, and fluid security environment, with existential challenges and threats from all strategic directions including state and non-state actors; near-peer military forces; cyber threats; space; terrorism; hybrid warfare; and, information operations. NATO is the most successful alliance in history, preserving peace and stability around the world for an unprecedented seven decades.
Science & Technology Trends: 2020-2040 provides an assessment of emerging or disruptive Science & Technologies and their potential impact on NATO military operations, defence capabilities, and political decision space. The report aims to assist current and future military and civilian decision-makers in understanding emerging and disruptive technologies (EDTs).
In particular, it focuses on:
• Why EDTs are important to future Alliance activities;
• How they are expected to develop over time; and,
• What this will mean to the Alliance from an operational, organisational or enterprise perspective?
