This paper provides a comprehensive view of the impact of strategic technologies on modern warfare. The paper asserts that this is not a series of individual advances but a composite revolution shaped by the convergence of many important technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics and automation, hypersonic weapons, quantum technology, space technology and cyber technology, and biotechnology, which have profound impacts on military operations. The analysis synthesizes assessments from defense organizations, academic research, and government to highlight the significant changes in operations and the erosion of traditional deterrence models. The paper concludes by proposing policy solutions for Vietnam’s defense modernization to effectively respond to the challenges and take advantage of the important opportunities brought by these global trends.
