Facing Coming Storms #14: Preparing Armies for a Future War

Episode description: We are joined by Leo Blanken and JP Clark  – two of the contributors to Storm Proofing: Preparing Armies for a Future War (out now). With the world less safe, this book unites fifteen UK, US, and European experts to probe how armies approach war, how soldiers think, and how these human elements mesh with AI and tech. Drawing from Storm Proofing, we explore the 2020s, where AI, drones and edge computing are reshaping warfare – from Ukraine’s drone units to the US Navy’s Gulf patrols.
