Abstract

Abstract:Innovations in technologies coupled with evolving military thinking have led to advanced emerging military technologies ranging from artificial intelligence, lethal autonomous weapons, hypersonic weapons, directed energy weapons, biotechnology, and quantum technology. These technologies not only open new domains in warfighting capabilities and strategy by changing the size and speed of destructions but may also bring challenges in curbing arms race, managing networks, and achieving peace and security. This study examines the rising significance of emerging technologies in Indo-Pacific security and further explores US strategies for building, dominating, and managing the different networks of technologies, domains, command and control (C2), alliances, and partners. As advanced technologies play a critical role in supporting national strategic goals, as in the case of China, it seems clear that the future of strategic competition will be dictated by who builds, dominates, and manages these networks and how one does it most effectively with clear strategic vision. In this paper I argue that networks are crucial in understanding emerging technologies and Indo-Pacific strategy for the unfolding era of strategic competition.

印太地区中美战略竞争与新兴技术:网络建设、支配和管理战略

摘要:技术创新与军事思维的演变导致了人工智能、致命自主武器、高超声速武器、定向能武器、生物技术和量子技术等先进新兴军事技术的出现。这些技术不仅通过改变破坏的规模和速度，在作战能力和战略方面开辟了新的领域，而且可能在遏制军备竞赛、管理网络、实现和平与安全方面带来挑战。本研究考察了新兴技术在印度-太平洋安全中日益重要的意义，并进一步探讨了美国建立、主导和管理不同技术、领域、指挥与控制(C2)、联盟和合作伙伴网络的战略。由于先进技术在支持国家战略目标方面发挥着关键作用，就像中国的情况一样，很明显，战略竞争的未来将取决于谁建设、主导和管理这些网络，以及如何以清晰的战略眼光最有效地做到这一点。在本文中，我认为网络对于理解正在展开的战略竞争时代的新兴技术和印太战略至关重要。
