“This is not Cold War 2.0,” Cotton warned. “Unfortunately, it’s much more complex.”
Correll did not mention China or Russia by name is his speech. Instead, he focused on changes in capability that threaten to destabilize the strategic environment.
“We must deter in a tech-saturated operational environment,” Correll said. “In that environment of tomorrow, the battlefield is being reshaped by rapid advancements in technology, and the character of warfare is changing, from unmanned and autonomous capabilities to innovative tools that manipulate the information environment. Engineering has become being possible at far smaller scales, and computing power continues to become exponentially cheaper.”
