The war after next


The war machine of the future is on its way. Unstoppable and invulnerable, it moves at terrifying speed, giving opponents no time to react. Enemies will not even see their human opponents, just a front line bristling with robots, unmanned aircraft and remote sensors.

This is the US army's future combat system (FCS), which will reach a critical decision point in April. If it is judged successful, within just five years the US will field a revolutionary new force.
