It is commonly said that asymmetrical conflicts have become the norm worldwide, and that the threat is impossible to assess and thus anticipate. As a result it has become increasingly difficult to programme solutions at system and equipment level. Such an analysis has to be balanced, and one has to avoid thinking or allowing it to be thought that industry is unable to respond to the operational uncertainty. On the contrary, thanks to its mastery of technology, industry is in a better position today to propose a ‘reactive adaptation’ to face any evolution of the threat.
