The Technologies of Remote Warfare

Here you will find a variety of relevant publications, op-eds, events, and podcasts published by ourselves and others.

The history of warfare has been defined by technological innovation. Everything from gunpowder to the atomic bomb has radically altered the way wars are fought and how peace is achieved. Remote warfare is no exception. Conducting warfare from a distance is made possible by a complex network of technologies including surveillance, algorithms, machine learning, unmanned and autonomous vehicles, and precision-guided munitions. By transforming what is possible on and off the battlefield, the ascendency of these technologies raises fresh questions about the role of humans in warfare as well as how the technologies themselves are developed and proliferated.
