![]() ![]() ![]() “We must develop new approaches to compete and fight in the future that provide asymmetric advantage and supported by the right technologies, equipment and capabilities,” the document added before highlighting the importance of multi-lateral partnerships throughout the international SOF community. We must field overmatch technologies and tactics that exploit adversary vulnerabilities and negate near-peer competitor advantages,” the document described before exploring a series of “revolutionary technological inflection points” including artificial intelligence, machine learning and cloud computing. ![]() “Future SOF must be more lethal, trans-regionally integrated, and effective in contested domains. ![]() “In this increasingly complex environment, characterised by exponential advances in technology, shifting global order, and hyper-enabled adversaries, SOF must correspondingly optimise to confront these challenges. Subsequently, JSOU findings called for SOF to identify “new operating concepts and associated capabilities to confront this broad range of anticipated future security challenges”. Future SOFĬommentary from the event also echoed JSOU’s Special Operations Research Topics 2020 document, published in June 2019, which considered how “the confluence of information, technology, and innovation (artificial intelligence, machine learning, cyber operations, and big data)” would affect these issues.Ĭonsidering the ‘Future Operating Environment’, the JSOU confirmed how it will be characterised by “peer, near-peer, and non-state competitors, with technologically advanced threats, ubiquitous surveillance, artificial intelligence (AI) enabled battle networks, an accelerating rate of change, globally scaled and interconnected information, and the increasing relevance of people and populations in competition and conflict”. Specifically, discussions were focused around ongoing threats associated with counter-terrorism (CT) and counter-insurgency (COIN) as well as emerging demand signals associated with the Great Power Competition (GPC) and peer, high capability adversaries including China, Iran, North Korea and Russia. ![]()
