The Onward March of Digital Innovation

From the frontlines to the back office, processes and operations and military tactics are increasingly dependent on digital innovation.

New and emerging technologies have the capacity to strengthen capabilities across a huge range of uses. Major trends such as artificial intelligence (AI), customised mobile devices, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and the Internet of Military Things (IoMT) are enabling defence forces and their support teams to act with greater precision, intelligence, and efficiency, while reducing the risk to frontline personnel.

This short guide will look at four hot topics of digital innovation within the defence sector, and the role that mobile devices can play. Each chapter will examine the key considerations and challenges associated with each use case or topic, as well as the technologies designed to overcome them.
