The Future Warfighting Symposium (FWS) launches the U.S. Naval War College’s (NWC) academic year with a three-day presentation on emerging technologies, cyberwar, and space operations. FWS highlights the National Defense Strategy, which recognizes that rapid technological advancements are changing society and, ultimately, the character of war.
Initiated in 2017 by Chief of Naval Operations' (CNO) mandate, the FWS gives the NWC the opportunity to further its training and education on new emerging forms of war, covering all areas such as nanotechnology, cyber and biological warfare, along with robotics and artificial intelligence.
The event also supports the CNO’s strategy as articulated in the Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority and the Future Navy documents by challenging leaders to think innovatively about capabilities and threats in space, the global information grid, and emerging technologies such as nanotechnologies, biological agents, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
The three-day Future Warfighting Symposium responds directly to the CNO's call for increased education in the topics of Emerging Technologies, Cyberwar and Space Operations.
