This report provides a general description of the technological development from a primarily military perspective towards 2050, but also highlights civil technology development where relevant. The focus of the report is technology areas that have been identified through a literature study as being the most interesting from a military perspective and have potential to have important defence relevant applications. The report also analyses, at a relatively general level, what impact the technological development can have in the military sector. There are, for example, major challenges regarding the entire defence development and production process. Other aspects that are addressed include what military requirements for reliability, robustness and security mean for the opportunities to implement civilian technology in military applications, the future for traditional platforms, the future operational environment and whether the nature of war itself survives the future. A central part of the report is how we should relate to technology development. What do we need to do - business, processes - to exploit opportunities and meet threats that technology development can create.
