Recent armed conflicts have demonstrated a fundamental change in warfare. Armoured vehicles are often defenseless against inexpensive drones, while the use of sophisticated interceptors for air defense systems against UAVs is often economically ineffective.
Geostrategic competition over technological primacy is growing as the pace of technology development accelerates while technology supply chains become increasingly complex. The future of warfare is likely to focus less on firepower and more on the power of information and the way it connects a military's forces through command and control, communications, IT systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
The Embassy of the Czech Republic in its capacity of the NATO Contact Point Embassy in Israel in cooperation with the American Jewish Committee (AJC) organized on May 27, 2025 a seminar on Warfare of the Future.
Speakers at the event, Brigadier General (res) Shachar Shohat, Vice President for Strategy at Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Mr. Tal Inbar, Senior Research Fellow at Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, Dr. Liran Antebi, Visiting Senior Researcher of Yuval Ne'eman Workshop at Tel Aviv University, and Lieutenant Colonel (res.) Avital Leibovich, AJC Jerusalem Director, discussed how should defense strategies adapt to deployment of new and disruptive technologies.
