The Future of Warfighting

To be effective, militaries must routinely change to keep pace with new technologies, talent demands, and processes. The Deloitte Centre for Government Insights is helping militaries understand these shifts through innovative research designed to give militaries pragmatic recommendations as they prepare for the future of warfighting.”

Deloitte Insights the Future of Warfighting

Through more than 60 specialists representing 12 countries across North America, Europe, and Asia, this project will produce more than a dozen insights articles offering ways of improving interoperability across key military areas. Research will detail how specific defence organisations can improve interoperability across defence challenges based on country-level expertise.

The four leading defence challenges assessed from strategy documents of 12 countries across North America, Europe, and Asia include near-peer/peer warfare, grey zone threats particularly from technology, limited scale warfare, and defending the rules-based international order.

The goal is to not only promote discussion at the international and intra-national levels, but demonstrate, in part, how greater interoperability can be realised.

Indeed, commercial innovations are routinely changing how the world works, from government to health care, education, and warfare.
