Retired U.S. Army Col. Chris Demchak, Ph.D., a professor in the U.S. Naval War College's (NWC) Cyber and Innovation Policy Institute, far right, answers a question from the audience during a panel discussion on remote autonomous systems during the war college's Future Warfighting Symposium (FWS) on Aug. 5, 2026. Initiated in 2017 by Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) mandate, FWS gives NWC the opportunity to further its training and education on new emerging forms of war. The symposium supports Navy and Department of Defense priorities by challenging leaders to think innovatively about capabilities and threats in space; the global information grid and emerging technologies such as nanotechnologies, biological agents, robotics and artificial intelligence. Established in 1884, NWC is the oldest institution of its kind in the world. The college delivers excellence in education, research, and outreach, informing today’s decision makers, educating tomorrow’s leaders, and engaging partners and allies on all matters of naval power in order to preserve the peace, respond in crisis, and win decisively in war.
