Summary/Abstract: In a future dynamic operational environment, characterized by the external influences of various public and private entities involved in scientific and technological development, research and development of advanced technologies, and due to politico-military and economic developments, modern armies will have to plan and conduct multi-field military operations. In order to adapt quickly and restore order in this already chaotically operational environment, military bodies need to turn potential challenges into opportunities through foresight, risk-taking and initiative. Forecasting through technological development forecasting, early experimentation with new technologies, scanning of the predictable horizon and analysis of evolutionary trends, will allow a modern army to overcome cost and innovation issues, project forces for rapid integration of new technology and develop new infrastructure. enabling forces to carry out missions in multi-field operations. Initiatives to explore relatively new military areas, such as cyberspace, as well as creating a connection between the military, industry and academia will provide insights into how emerging technologies can be integrated into military operations. In this way, the combined eff ort of the three areas of interest brings further knowledge of the risk that the military must manage in order to ensure success in the current operational environment.
