TL;DR — A 2019 issue of the National Defense University’s security journal on emerging military technology: cyber-physical systems, directed energy, neuroweapons and AI.
PRISM is the quarterly journal of complex operations published at NDU’s Institute for National Strategic Studies. This issue, themed “Singularity,” collects essays on disruptive technologies and the joint force.
Contents include Marty Trevino on cyber-physical systems, Thomas Donahue on U.S. telecommunications, Trey Obering’s “Directed Energy Weapons are Real… And Disruptive” (p. 36, presumably why the file was saved), pieces on neuroweapons, Chinese military use of cognitive science and biotechnology, AI and drones, the ethics of acquiring autonomous weapons, Singapore and cyber conflict, and an interview with the head of Army Futures Command.
What it is: an official U.S. Department of Defense journal issue: policy essays by officials and analysts, not technical documentation. A few portions may carry outside copyright.
