'Hybrid War': Army Sec. Driscoll on drones, data and the future of warfare | The Conversation

Published | Video Starts at 07:38

I think the best guess is if the United States entered a conflict with a peer in a couple of years, it would be a hybrid war where nearly every human being on the battlefield would be empowered and enabled with a digital tool. I think we believe every infantryman in the United States army will carry a drone with them into battle. Every single command and control node will need some sort of counter drone defense. You will need a data layer that is basically able to connect our people and our things and our sensors to exchange information in near real time. (07:38–07:45)
