About this report
This report presents a structured and evidence-based analysis of algorithmic warfare, defined as the integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, automated decision-support, and autonomous systems across all operational domains.
It addresses the technical, legal, industrial, and strategic dimensions of this transformation, relying exclusively on authoritative institutional and corporate sources. The study outlines how algorithmic systems are increasingly embedded in military planning and execution, from intelligence and targeting to command, logistics, cyber operations, and force protection.
