BASIC FACTS
Winners in the technology race depend on who innovates fast. Innovation depends on Research and Development (R&D). In turn, R & D depends on education infrastructure, high-tech faculty and budget allocation for R & D.
Ipso facto, the emerging military technology developments are extraordinary hi-tech and high cost. They unfold at a secretive arena of strategic competition at global level, with regional powers also joining the race. Mutual interdependencies are inevitable. The country that manages them pragmatically wins the technology race in combat weapons systems and wars.
"Wars" are classified under the terminology of "Generations - GEN" for analysis to include: GEN I (16481860); GEN II (1860-1918), GEN III (Post World War 1 and World War 2) and GEN IV or + (Post World War 2). Post Gulf War in 1993, Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) and
Network-Centric War got coined in military terminology. The ongoing conflicts are classified as Hybrid Wars or GEN V warfare covering multi dimensional fields to include influence and cyber warfare and artificial intelligence (AI).
At the global level, competition in the military technology race - GEN IV+ and GEN V and even Gen VI - is between the USA and China. At the regional level, India's competition in military technology is not only with China, but also with Turkey, Iran and Pakistan. Although India started ahead of China in the 1950s by establishing R & D infrastructure, it now lags behind in GEN IV or OR V combat system.
