The Theresan Military Academic Forum (TMAF) is an annual scientific symposium. This event offers the opportunity to present the results of research and development activities to members of the scientific community and contribute this expertise to national and international scientific discourse and academic teaching.
Digitalisation, automation and autonomisation have profoundly changed modern warfare. The use
of artificial intelligence and machine learning is just one example of developments that are influencing current and future warfare and, among other things, presenting military strategists, the Western community of values and international legal norms with new challenges. We therefore explored the question: ‘Is the global West losing its edge in warfare?’
In this Armis et Litteris, we are publishing 17 articles by authors from 14 nations. The authors teach
and/or conduct research at military and civilian higher education institutions, or work in industrial companies in this field. Their valuable contributions to current and future autonomous warfare can be read here. We hope you enjoy reading these valuable articles.
