Ever since the first man grabbed a stone and killed another with it, warfare has been a driver in advancing technology. From explosives to radar to spaceflight, these have all had their roots in war - as do countless other technological advances, though often the connection is unseen.

In our Future Tech page we have combined, from various sources, broad and specific areas of technological advancement to monitor, warfare is one of those categories. Its subcategories are:

Cyberwarfare
Metamaterial Cloaking
UAVs (Unmanned Arial Vehicle)
Exoskeletons
Robotics - Though this is a separate broad category by itself.
Space - particularly with regards to spacecraft like the X37-B of Boeing.

The clip of P.W Singer (a Senior Fellow and Director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution) looks at the future of warfare, particularly with regards to the use of robotics.

The infographic below, of the United States Future Force Warrior program is an example of government funding towards the future soldier today:
