Abstract
In the ever-evolving landscape of warfare, biotechnological advancements have emerged as a pivotal factor in shaping the modern battlefield. In today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous (VUCA) environment, military operations rely on emerging and disruptive technologies to gain an edge. This article delves into the multifaceted implications of integrating biotechnology into the nowadays warfare, exploring its impact on strategy, tactics and society. From enhanced human performance through genetic modifications to the development of novel bio-inspired materials, biotechnology has revolutionized the capabilities of armed forces worldwide. However, with these advancements come ethical, legal, and societal considerations that demand careful examination. This study aims to illuminate the transformative role of biotechnology in shaping the future of warfare and its broader implications for society.
