A new military force multiplier is emerging. This is the Military Internet of Things (MIoT), a world where digital data is drawn from an ever-expanding range of networked sources and integrated to create a multi-dimensional world of intelligence and operations. The MIoT is enabled by many technologies, some familiar, some new, but all converging thanks to advances in device interoperability and improved information processing power. The MIoT is becoming a new military front-line, bringing extraordinary advances in capability but also challenges in terms of planning, management and deployment. And as connectivity increases, this creates possibilities for intelligence and real-time control of situations ranging from traffic or infrastructure management to kinetic battlefields.
