Ever since technology began to immerse itself in various business fields worldwide, it was
inevitable that it would soon reach the military industry as well and lead inventors to create
phenomenal creations to help evolve military operations to their highest potential.

Over the years, the military has undergone a number of changes as technological
innovations continue to take over and significantly amplify the impact of the military industry
around the world. A prime example of this can be seen through the contributions made by
Robert Edwin Douglas - a highly acclaimed person in business, an inventor, and an engineer
associated with image processing and 3D technology.

In the past fifteen years of his professional career, Dr. Douglas has founded several
establishments, such as Douglas Labs Inc., D3D Technologies Inc, Opic Technologies Inc,
and TPMI LLC. His work in the military industry has allowed him to gain a widespread
reputation, especially for his abilities in designing, developing, and testing an array of 3D
technologies being utilized all over the world.

As an experienced military strategist, Dr. Douglas has worked on creating a number of
patents throughout his career, which helped to improve the operations of Virtual Reality
displays, Augmented Reality displays, the Integrated Visual Augmentation System, and
many more.

As the Director of Systems Analysis at Lockheed Martin, Dr. Douglas led the efforts of many
military weapon systems - such as the Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile, the Low Altitude
Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night, etc. Naturally, his work on various systems in
the military sector has proven to be significantly useful to soldiers worldwide. In fact, as a
key analyst in the Department of Defense, he ended up becoming a member of the United
States Army Science Board, where he served for more than 20 years.

As a technological expert, Dr. Douglas believes that looking out for future trends can help
innovators in the industry to know what they need to focus on and how they can take the
next step toward their innovative ventures.

Artificial Intelligence
Adopting AI for defense enhancements in the computational military can be used for
surveillance, intelligence, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. Making use of computer
vision enables secure equipment management and gives power to autonomous weapon
systems, thus reducing soldier casualties.

By giving leverage to machine learning and digital twin technology, manufacturers for
defense can test new military product iterations and then enable maintenance for military
assets.

Cyber Warfare
Many technological systems can become victims of cybercrimes, even military systems,
potentially leading to the loss of classified information and damaging the entire system
exponentially.

However, prescriptive security technology makes use of AI, cybersecurity, and automation to
detect potential threats and then use them to reduce cybercrime activities. Moreover,
connecting military security systems to major institutions and nuclear security are some of
the main areas of focus where cyber security must be more focused. In addition, militaries
are also developing offensive cyber warfare capabilities that range from malware and
ransomware to phishing crimes.
