Tim Sweijs | Georgia Tech talk about Modern Warfare
The conflict in Ukraine is showing the world a lot about the future of warfare, and it’s not all satellites and AI, HCSS director of research Tim Sweijs told students and faculty during a recent Georgia Tech visit. “The war in Ukraine has punctured the visions that portray future wars as being hybrid, liminal, or gray-zoned,” Sweijs said, referring to conflicts that fall in between peace and warfare. “We’re seeing over the past 30 months is a war of attrition with large armies stretched out over hundreds and hundreds of kilometers of battlefront.” The talk was part of a series hosted by the Nunn School of International Affairs focusing on the intersection of emerging technologies and their implications for conflict and statecraft.
