The Race to Field Military Autonomy Is On, Can Trusted Information Infrastructure Keep Pace?

Military forces are accelerating the development and deployment of autonomous capabilities due to increasing pressure. The US, UK, and NATO are investing in new technologies and adopting faster acquisition pathways to quickly deliver new capabilities. This shift is driven by evolving defense strategies that prioritize speed and agility. As a result, programs that can rapidly move from concept to operational deployment are being prioritized. The focus is now turning to ensuring the underlying information infrastructure can support these autonomous capabilities.
