Granted it may be some time off in the near future, but many of the components and technologies envisaged in such a landscape are already in operational use. From tried and tested Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to Unmanned Surface Vessels in operation with the Singaporean and Israeli Armed Forces, these systems are causing a major paradigm shift in current Asian military thinking.
