Communications have absolutely made the biggest leap. The ability to quickly communicate and share information has truly made the biggest impact and transformed the field. Vehicles are all aware of each other automatically, units can easily determine their location as well as the enemy’s. Targeting computers make strikes much easier and quicker and equipment and vehicles are all interconnected, all aware of each other’s position, and one man on the ground or one vehicle can convey targeting information to everyone else.
Now that computerised systems have become standard on the battlefield the next step is the use of drones, with many tasks that required personnel and vehicles to be carried out to be able to be performed by unmanned machines, from surveillance to actual striking of the enemy.
