A key trend from this year's Accenture Technology Vision, DARQ Power, sets out how the next wave of technologies – distributed ledger, AI, XR and AR and quantum computing – promise to be the catalysts for change that will offer Defence organisations extraordinary new capabilities and also new threats. The pace of change is gaining momentum and public service leaders recognise this. Ninety three per cent of them say that emerging technologies have accelerated innovation in their organisation over the past three years. And as technology continues to evolve rapidly, Defence leaders should investigate and prepare for the wave of disruption that is coming. We see that in the near future XR will change how training is performed.
