Technological innovations have always shaped conflict and war. In the 20th century, technological developments in the military realm mainly concerned conventional weapons, such as fighter jets, missiles, and tanks, as well as nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. The end of the last century brought through cutting-edge technologies such as satellite communication and digital tools. The beginning of the 21st century has accentuated the developments in these fields and continues to produce the technologies of the future, such as artificial intelligence (AI), nanotechnology, and human augmentation. Given these technologies' novel features, their military use will most likely have considerable influence on future conflict and war.
