This paper offers a view on how the defence world adapts to developments taking place in its environment, with as much emphasis on the development of technologies, as to the requirements and opportunities of applying those of interest to defence. It therefore highlights how the future is not only about the discovery and development of new technologies, but also about the use and application of civil developments in defence. The work of the Ministry of Defence is not only to anticipate risks and threats, but also to contribute to the improvement of technological and industrial capabilities both in defence and the dual use arena. An example of a mechanism for this adjustment is the Technology Watch and Foresight System (SOPT) located in the Under-directorate for Technology and Innovation (SDGTECIN).
