The new drones and solutions are shaping the next trends in the military.

The next trend in the military is networking. All actors share information about their ammunition capacity. Recognized vehicles. Enemies and their movements. Knowledge of the enemy is a key element. 

The new systems are integrated as part of the whole. Entire battle units and their support systems form a network that shares information immediately. The winner is not the fastest. It's the sharpest. It's the thing that can detect, follow, and shoot the enemy with the highest possible accuracy. The only accepted accuracy is destroying the enemy. This is the element. 

In tactical-scale work. The strategic scale is more complicated than just battlefield operations. 

The strategic scale means the entire system. Its ability to replace losses settles the war. Settling the war is not the same as winning battles. It’s a little bit the same. But if the actor uses all its anti-tank ammunition in one battle. That can mean a loss in the next battle. All ammunition is a single-use tool. That means resupply is the most important thing in the war. The new drones can carry other drones. 

Sea- and land-based solutions. They carry anti-drone, killer drones, and observation drones. Surface and underwater systems can release other drones. That can affect inland objects. They can also use their anti-drone systems as traps. That can affect things. Like aircraft and helicopters. And other ships and tanks. The USVs (unmanned surface vehicles).And UUVs (Unmanned Underwater vehicles). And UGVs (Unmanned Ground Vehicles). They can carry small, lightweight anti-aircraft missiles. Stinger-type missiles can cause damage to large aircraft.

And if. The system carries an internal warhead. That can improve its ability to cause damage. The large-sized robot can carry other robots.  This means the UUV or USV can be dropped from an airplane.  Or some unmanned sea vehicle can carry a UGV to the operational area. This makes those systems very hard to predict. A drone is completely different from a manned vehicle. 

The AVs. (Autonomous Vehicles) like AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) are replacing remote-controlled vehicles. Those AI-powered systems can operate independently without a remote pilot. This makes them immune to jammers. 

The drone must not care. About. Its crew. And the only problem is its communication. When. We think about small-sized FPV drones. Bigger drones like the MQ-9 Reaper and its successors. They can transport those drones. And. They can act as relay stations. This means that the small FPV drone can also be controlled from another side of the world. That gives small drones new capabilities. Larger drones. They can carry those small drones to operational areas. The fact is that. 

Things like Starlink systems. They can offer drones higher capacities. Than we ever imagined. The modem that uses jumping frequencies is hard to jam. But if jamming is successful. That makes those drones ineffective. Except. If they have AI-based systems. That can make them follow and hit the target even if the controller loses connection. 

When we think about manned submarines, their limit is food. Another thing. That limits their operations. It is psychological effects. Things like toilets can malfunction. And relationships in a closed environment can turn poisonous. This means the next thing that we can see at sea. It could be nuclear-powered drones. Full-scale nuclear submarine. It’s easy to transform into a drone. 

Small nuclear reactors. They can give small vehicles the ability to use things like lasers and microwave weapons. Nuclear power can solve problems with those drones' operational range. Nuclear batteries (RTGs) can give a small drone an unlimited operational capacity. But portable nuclear reactors can give the same ability. For. Larger-scale drones. The nuclear-powered tank Chrysler TV-8. It could be based on the new nuclear submarines. Those submarines can have caterpillar tracks. That allows them to operate. 

On the bottom of the sea. The miniature sub. It can look like the Soviet miniature submarine concept. That was designed for Spetsnaz. The submarine had those caterpillar tracks. That. It can travel along the seabed.

Miniature nuclear technology. That was created. For nuclear-powered cars like the Ford Nucleon and tanks like the Chrysler TV-8 in the 1960s. Those reactors' modernized versions. They can make it possible to create nuclear-powered flying vehicles, ground vehicles, corvettes, frigates, and missile boats. Or the nuclear-powered version of the Orca-class UUV.  Miniature reactors. They can turn many visions true. The ability to create systems with unlimited operational range is interesting.
