Emerging Weapons Technologies to Reshape Battlefields Over Next 30 Years
Over the next three decades, several new weapons technologies will emerge on the battlefield. Beyond currently developing non-lethal and energy weapons, multiple nations are pursuing anti-access/area denial (A2AD) systems to block military operations. A2AD technologies include anti-ship ballistic missiles, precision-guided anti-vehicle and anti-personnel weapons, counter-rocket, artillery, and mortar (CRAM) systems, anti-satellite weapons, and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) devices.
Medical Breakthroughs to Transform Healthcare Over Next 30 Years
Over the next three decades, scientific and technological advancements will revolutionize medicine. Genomics will enable truly personalized drugs, allowing treatments tailored to individual genetic profiles to tackle cancer, cardiopulmonary diseases, Alzheimer's, and other currently intractable illnesses.
Combating Global Climate Change: Challenges and Tech-Driven Responses
Current data projects Earth’s surface temperature will rise by 1.4 to 3 degrees Celsius by 2050. Even with extreme greenhouse gas emission cuts, climatic inertia will drive warming, triggering dire consequences: coastal city risks from rising seas, famine due to crop yield declines, water scarcity for millions from droughts, and billions in flood damages.
