ABSTRACT
Technology is often an importance consideration in a state’s theory of victory. States must consider how technology advances their strategic ends and the most appropriate ways to source technology. As states seek technological overmatch or offsets, they must also wrestle with the strategic cost, risk, and advantage of emerging technologies. Yet, technological advantage is likely to be fleeting. Successful competition depends on states’ ability to scale rapidly in times of crisis, to train soldiers in network-centric and austere environments, to effectively establish norms of AI use, to compete in the diffusion of global dual-use technology, and to question assumptions of technological emergence.
