In an opinion piece, the author writes about how military technology may not be a ‘game-changer’ in itself, but its refinement into a logistically practical system, its deployment to a context in which its capabilities are particularly relevant, and above all the concept of how to use it effectively. When harnessed to a larger military machine, when tactics and doctrine on their employment are devised and tested and finally deployed in a relevant context—then history shows the game can change with stunning speed. He cites a piece written in April 2018 by Richard Bitzinger, who was then a Visiting Fellow at the RSIS. In the piece, Bitzinger wrote criticised the notion of game-changing military technology, arguing that other factors tend to impact military conflicts more than chasing after the wonder weapon du jour.
