Dr David Rodin on technology and the changing nature of warfare

Date

Dr David Rodin discussed the impact of several new technological advances on future wars in The Forum programme of BBC World Service (20 May, 2012).


David discussed robot spy planes as small as insects, drones, interfaces to plug a soldiers mind directly into a weapons system and lasers that could temporarily blind you: some of this technology is already used on the battlefield.

Dr David Rodin is a Senior Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict (ELAC), University of Oxford.
