-<Leadin>The discussion about</Leadin> the influence of new military technologies and their relevance for (future) warfare and global stability has gained considerable traction over the last decade, especially in the context of the ongoing wars against Ukraine and in the Gaza Strip. Systems such as artificial intelligence (AI), in particular, have been instrumental in the development of decision support systems and uncrewed vehicles in all domains are being tested and in many cases integrated into military operations in current theaters of war  . This discussion focuses on the potentially significant impact of technologies on national and international security and is driven by the central importance of not missing or losing sight of future breakthrough systems. This urgent need stems from the Janus-faced nature of certain modern technologies, which can be perceived as both an opportunity and a threat—both of which are time critical. On the one hand, new technologies offer the chance to take a leading role in global competition through rapid innovation, thereby gaining more autonomy, technological independence, and military power—not to mention civilian business opportunities. On the other hand, new technologies are often associated with security policy fears and threat perceptions, the relevance and significance of which are difficult to assess *ex ante*.
