Futuristic outlook on human-centric S&T / by Peter Tikuisis ... [et al.].: D68-6/060-2013E-PDF

This study was undertaken to fulfill DRDC Toronto Research Centre’s obligation to provide and maintain a far horizon (7–20 year) outlook on site development. Strategic planning of infrastructure, facilities, and capability must be informed by defensible future directions in science and technology (S&T), supported by credible documentation. The focus is on DRDC Toronto’s mandate to provide leadership and solutions that meet the needs of the Department of National Defence/Canadian Armed Forces (DND/CAF) in the human-centric domain of relevance to defence and security. A foresight analysis was conducted using in-house expertise in six S&T areas: Autonomous Platforms and Agents, Information and Influence, Intelligence and Prediction, Man-machine Interfacing/Integration, Warfighter Effectiveness, and Moral and Ethical Issues. Facilities and resources (both equipment and personnel) necessary to support research in these areas are also outlined.
