Experts highlight a fundamental shift in modern conflict where cheap, mass-produced drones are challenging expensive legacy platforms like tanks and crewed vessels. Major themes include the urgent need for faster procurement cycles, the importance of electronic warfare and positioning resilience, and the rising demand for autonomous counter-UAS technologies. Regional developments are prominent, featuring European funding initiatives like AGILE and EDIP alongside industrial expansions in Poland, Australia, and the Baltic states. Additionally, the texts address the ethical and legal challenges of autonomous decision-making and the strategic necessity of maintaining human oversight in high-speed warfare. Ultimately, the collection illustrates a transition toward software-defined defence and attritable mass as decisive factors on the contemporary battlefield.
