Margaret E. Kosal, an associate professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs and Heather Regnault, a Ph.D. student in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, wrote an article entitled, "Emerging Technologies and the Future of Warfare," in The Cipher Brief.

Excerpt:

While the suggestion that such emerging technologies will enable a new class of weapons that will alter the geopolitical landscape remains to be realized, a number of unresolved security puzzles underlying the emergence of potentially disruptive technologies have implications for international security, defense policy, governance, and arms control regimes. The extent to which these emerging technologies may exacerbate or mitigate the global security and governance challenges that states will pose in the future to U.S., regional, and global security interests will remain an integral question as US policy-makers and leaders navigate the complex global security environment.
