FUTURE WARFARE | The Geopolitical Competitive Landscape
Military robotics is no longer a U.S.-centric story. Global defence spending crossed $2.75 trillion in 2026; defence-tech VC hit a record $49.1 billion in 2025; and a multipolar robotics order is crystallising in real time — with China’s 15th Five-Year Plan institutionalising civil-military fusion, Europe’s €381 billion defence budget financing its own AI champions, and Turkey and Israel reshaping the export market with affordable, combat-proven systems. Part Five of the Future Warfare Series maps the country-by-country competitive landscape, the collapsing regulation race, and the investment forces reshaping who builds — and who controls — the autonomous weapons of the next decade.
