The Robotic Net-Centric Battle Space of the Future will read much like an apocalyptic novel or Science Fiction Terminator type movie and indeed it will be a living hell for those enemies within the kill zone. How soon until such a Future Fighting Force is ready to fight our wars for us? Well you might be surprised to find out just how close this potential and very real eventuality really is.

Today, the United States and her allies are working on Robotic Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Robotic Unmanned Ground Vehicles and Robotic Unmanned Underwater and Above Water Vessels. As you are aware we already have sophisticated Electronic Attack systems, Smart Munitions and UAVs in the battlespace assisting manned operations able to strategically and surgically strike our enemy; whether they be insurgents, international terrorists or even rogue nation-states run by radical dictators.

Efficient robotic killing machines combined with state-of-the-art technologies, electronics and a mixture of non-lethal devices will render any enemy useless in battle. Thus, the enemy will either lose their will to fight, their lives or their abilities to move, stay awake or penetrate various zones of the net-centric battlespace.

The only real problem with this entire scenario is that these technologically advanced machines are a double edged sword in that even our most top secret artificially intelligent weapons will also be in the hands of our enemies, who may use them against our own civilian populations. Thus, a fighting force of defense robots will be made to secure our cities, but if they fail, then what.

Indeed, the future of warfare is changing rapidly and human armies will soon be a thing of the past, as robotic arsenals will go to war with one-another to see which political power will remain in control. Resistance may indeed be futile. I appreciate your reading of this article and perhaps this topic is of interest to propel thought?
