Technology Forecast 2021 – Military Utility of Future Technologies

• For the purpose of Technology Forecast 2021 five reports from the German Fraunhofer Institute were chosen by FMV (and SwAF) and given to Systems Science for Defence and Security Division to analyse and assess within the timeframe up to 2040.The following research reports were reviewed by the working group at SEDU:·       Adversarial Machine Learning ·       High Entropy Ceramics·       Large Unmanned Underwater Vehicles·       Living Sensors·       Machine Learning in Materials DevelopmentThe aim of the Technology Forecast seminars and the finished product, this report, is to assess the potential military utility of the reviewed technologies and how they may contribute to the Swedish Armed Forces’ operational capabilities based on the presented concept(s) and scenario(s). The military utility is categorised by one of four assessments: Significant, Moderate, Negligible or Uncertain.The following technologies were assessed to potentially have significant military utility:·       High Entropy Ceramics·       Machine Learning in Materials Development·       Adversarial Machine LearningThe following technology was assessed to potentially have moderate military utility:·       Large Unmanned Underwater Vehicles The following technology was assessed to have uncertain military utility:·       Living Sensors
