- Technological convergence will blur distinctions between military and civilian sectors, requiring air forces to reconsider boundaries around protecting freedom of maneuver (FoM) in its widest sense.
- Emerging "megatrends" like urbanization, technology disruption, climate change, and information availability will drive further convergence between government and commercial objectives.
- This convergence means civilian and military actors will increasingly compete for resources like bandwidth, components, skills and more, challenging air forces' approaches to FoM.
The purpose of this article is to explore the trend of the defense technology changes in global market according with military threat changes that shaped the Industrial Military Production. And if the defense technology approaches communicate with today’s business representation of the defense industry.

The development of new technologies like the Internet of Things has led to the expansion of widely utilised data, and with the advent of Industry, the amount of data that may be collected during a conflict has expanded. In contrast to the limited quantity of paper available to commanders during World War I, Industry 4.0 has allowed the military to gather massive volumes of real-time data that can be critical to a successful plan. Important infrastructure, friendly force boundaries, weather information, and civilian data are all provided by military sensors.https://aviationanddefensemarketreports.com/product/global-defense-rugged-communication-market/
Rugged communication market growth is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing spaces in the tech world. From cutting-edge hardware to the latest software advancements, this market continues to evolve at an incredible rate.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

2. Message:
Technological and wider convergence in the face of emerging ‘megatrends’
will see air forces competing with new actors in new ways
This will blur the distinction between Force Protection, Security, Safety,
Business Continuity, Risk, Resilience, strategy and tactics, et al
Which will require air forces to review current boundary judgements
regarding how they structure themselves to manage freedom of manoeuvre
(FoM) – in its widest sense.
3. Scope:
• Megatrends – definition
• Origins of the ideas
• Civ/Mil Convergence
• Boundary Judgements regarding the protection of FoM
4. Megatrends
PWC work on megatrends, reflects wider strategic futures work by, inter alia, CSIS and
McKinsey. Broadly the megatrends comprise:
• Urbanisation, predominately to littoral megacities
• Disruption in economic generation and distribution
• Automation of low–medium skilled work and demand for highly skilled workers
• Technology distribution and refresh rates
• Information availability and knowledge development
• Climate change and resource scarcity
5. Origins of the Work
2008-10 – Academic work looking at society, governance, technology, war across the epochs
2013/14 – AIR FP OA Study with RUSI
• Core Finding: The RAF (and others) have a federated approaches to FP
2014 – Megatrends, Disruptive Technologies and 2/3* 5-Eyes Interoperability Board
• Core Finding: Growing convergence across the military and civ spaces
2014 – Disruptive Technology and Intelligence
• Core Finding: Access to tech, components, fab’s, skills will be an issue
2014/15 – Work developing better Intelligence systems for the civilian airline sector
2015 – RUSI/Bath University Army Futures conference
6. Deployed Air Operations Enablement Study – 2014-15
Open source exploration of how a wide range of threats and hazards have impact across
the spectrum of air operations, and how these might develop in the face of emerging
‘megatrends’
Used a very wide aperture to explore a very broad range of threat & hazards to the air
commander’s FoM.
Core Finding: Need to consider FoM in its widest sense: immediate tactical/operational
through to long-term sustainment, development, and resilience are compressed through
convergence…
7. Convergence
Which will drive further convergence between government and commercial objectives:
• ‘Petropolitics’ models expand to sectors involved in ‘all of the above’
Between military and civilian technologies and technology requirements across:
• Navigation
• Logistics
• Analysis
• Communications and information systems
• Weapon systems (mainly components)
Which means civilian and military actors will compete for access to:
• Bandwidth
• Space
• Data
• Processors
• Components
• Brains/Skills
8. Examples (1)
Autonomous Unmanned Systems:
• Unmanned autonomous systems as a key future aspiration – in military and civil sector
• Military markets (and wallets) are small relative to, for example, the global logistics market
• Commercial actors better able to adopt disruptive tech, than are (western) governments
• How do air forces fare in the competition for access to components, systems, fab’s, skills, et al?
9. Economics and the ‘Future of Work’
• Rapid redistribution of economic models and fast paced commercial environment
• On-Demand, cloud sourcing of high skilled labour
• Separation between deliverers (contractors, recruiters, freelancers) and the client
• How will air forces manage risks and issues regarding access to resources, information integrity,
safety, security?
Examples (2)
10. Bandwidth
• Militaries and governments traditionally build capabilities rather than procure services
• Technology refresh rates mean much government procured CIS is obsolete on delivery
• Bandwidth will be at a premium in crises, as multiple actors fight for it
• How will 1) air forces compete for bandwidth and 2) plug their ‘aging’ kit into it?
Examples (3)
11. Other Examples
• Proliferation of threats:
• 3D printing: state & non-state access/entry levels
• Patriarchal voids and the resurgence of ‘isms
• Environmental and Climatic
• Sea levels and wider flooding
• Data/Analysis…
• Demographics and labour….
• Networks and Cyber….
Examples (4)
12. FoM – Widening the Aperture
Force Protection Security
Resilience Business Continuity
Sustainment Safety
C2 CIS
Medical Contracts
HR Procurement
Information and Outreach TTPs
Intelligence and Understanding………….
13. • Where are current boundary judgements made regarding
what constitutes a threat to FoM?
Boundary Judgements
• Where do those judgements allocate authority, responsibility
and decision rights?
• How do your boundary judgements fare in the face of
megatrends and convergence?
• How do they cope with migration/overlap around the
model?
• Will your structures, approaches and cultures provide
the kind of adaptive resilience required to manage
disruptive trends?
14. Any Answers?
Getting more comfortable with risk (ironically…)
Agility & Resilience: doing what you do more quickly vs doing something different more quickly
Future vs Futures….
Protecting/Securing/defending vs Enabling
