SUMMARY:'The Wars to Come'
DESCRIPTION:A new geopolitics is challenging global order. Revisionist powers, spheres of influence, and an increasing willingness to deploy violence are making war more likely. Meanwhile rapid cycles of technological innovation in the Russia-Ukraine War are fundamentally transforming the ways militaries fight and generate force. Advancements in drones, sensing, and AI have created a 'perfectly visible' battlefield with nowhere to hide---bogging down ground forces and threatening the obsolescence of large platforms from tanks to ships. Competition, aggression, and defence are also expanding into highly challenging and connected terrains---from satellites in space to the waters of the Arctic to undersea cables and pipelines. This roundtable explores these transformations in geopolitics, war, and competition and then projects into the future: What are the wars to come? Can we deter them? And if deterrence fails, how can we best prepare to fight them?  Chair: Professor Sir Hew Strachan, University of St. Andrews  Panelists:   Vice-Admiral (ret.)
