Software: Changing the Face of War
Today, wars are still fought on the battle field in tanks with military weapons and physical confrontations. However, advancements in technology, specifically software-based warfare, are starting to change the face of war.
These advancements are also changing the thought process and execution plan for battle. There is a distinct focus on software engineering in the military and how it can be used in battle and beyond.
Data collection and analysis is a large part of war. It may not sound as bold as big machine guns and monster tanks, but using software engineering to develop better and more effective drones used for data collection is crucial. These data collection devices can fly longer, hold more information, and are increasingly more robust as the technology changes. Unmanned aircraft used for data collection are in the fight today, but what’s just on the horizon or “in theater” is even more intriguing.
Software engineering in the military touches everything from transport to weaponry and beyond. The next generation of warfare depends on the accuracy and effectiveness of the programming that devices are fitted with. From self-aiming rifles to augmented reality visors, there are a lot of devices on the cusp of deployment that heavily rely on the technology within them. The software in these agents of war is mission critical.
With technology, in the form of software engineering, so closely intertwined with modern warfare, it’s crucial that the programming does not break down. When lives are at stake at the “hands” of modern weaponry or surveillance devices, it’s critical that technology doesn’t fail. In addition, developing instrumentation that can combat these forms of advanced technology is also important in protecting one’s own military. Software engineering that can take down missiles or predict an upcoming attack is also required to be fail-safe.
