What new military technology will be in use in 2020?

Power competition, counter-terrorism, and quantum computing are among the leading trends that will shape U.S. defense strategy. With 2020 just around the corner, you should expect to see a mix of innovations and return of 2019 patterns that align with these strategies. Below is the new military technology to look forward to in 2020 and beyond!
Instant Language Translation

With the significant growth of global access as a means of communication, the DoD receives a high volume of information at a high speed. The language diversity and the media through which this information is received creates a challenge of identifying and acting on it. There’s also a need to communicate with non-English speaking locals of foreign countries, which is difficult and costly for the DoD.

Instant Language Translation is not an entirely new military technology as it was developed by DARPA in 2011 when it launched the Broad Operational Language Translation (BOLT) program. The program is deployed in handheld devices and translates any language in real-time. BOLT enables communication with non-English speaking populations. Currently, the system only works with Iraqi Arabic, but as we enter 2020, DARPA hopes to expand it to other languages.
