What this report covers
Technologies: Cyber Defense, Information Security & Cryptography. A sourced, structured 7-page analysis for European defence and dual-use decision-makers, from the DFM research desk and built on official and primary sources.
About this report
Since 2022, global security has been dramatically reshaped by great-power rivalry and regional conflicts. SIPRI reports that world military expenditure reached a record $2.44 trillion in 2023 (a 6.8% increase) as the war in Ukraine and rising tensions in Asia and the Middle East drove the ninth consecutive year of growth.
NATO and allied strategists emphasise that this era features “exponential technological change” and increasingly sophisticated cyber and hybrid threats, driving an imperative to modernise armed forces and industrial bases.
Key questions this report answers
- How does the report's Phase 1 (2022-2025) characterise confrontation and digital acceleration in the global defence sector?
- What does SIPRI's record $2.44 trillion world military expenditure in 2023 reveal about the ninth consecutive year of spending growth?
- How do Phases 2 and 3 map the transition toward integrated multi-domain transformation and the autonomous and quantum era through 2035?
- What investment and modernisation implications follow from exponential technological change and rising cyber and hybrid threats across the three phases?
