The future of warfare
Warfare has returned to centre-stage of the relations between major powers. As the Ukraine conflict grinds on, the Middle East deteriorates, and China grows as a military power with ambitions for Taiwan and perhaps beyond, this discussion examines an urgent topic: what key trends in modern warfare have been revealed in recent campaigns, and what should we expect in the future?
Christian Brose, President and Chief Strategy Officer at Anduril Industries, and Sam Roggeveen, Director of the Lowy Institute's International Security Program, spoke in conversation with Lydia Khalil, Director of the Institute's Transnational Challenges Program. The discussion included audience questions.
Christian Brose is President and Chief Strategy Officer at Anduril Industries. Brose joined Anduril in 2018 following 10 years on Capitol Hill, where he served as staff director of the Senate Armed Services Committee, senior policy advisor to Senator John McCain, and policy adviser to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. He is a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, a member of the Aspen Strategy Group, and author of The Kill Chain: Defending America in the Future of High-Tech Warfare.
