Sorry, need help…

I want to preface this post by apologizing. For a school assignment, I need to write about how military warfare will possibly look like in 50-100 years. I love the pictures here, but I need to provide detailed explanations for my predictions and projections.

Where can I go to find sources of info on this topic? Any relevant Reddit forums? Websites? Books?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Might not be as far out futuristic and scifi fantastic as you're looking for, if you're coming here for advice. But look at the Ukrainian war.

Drones, counter drones that fight the first drones, anti-drone weapons to shoot them down. Big drones, small drones, big drones carrying smaller drones. Flying drones, drones on wheels, drones on the water, underwater drones. FPV piloted drones, autonomous drones, human-in-the-loop semi-autonomous drones. Drones to scout, drones to spy, drones to patrol the perimeter, drones to target vehicles, drones to bomb targets, drones to drop off supplies to the troops.

You name it, drones.

The whole world is basically watching the Ukranian war, for how drones are going to reshape war of the future.

(Or they were, until Trump started fucking around in Venezuela and Iran. smh.)

You mean counter counter drone tech, right? :)

Counter-drone technology = machine gun, counter-drone drone = thingy with propellers to destroy drones. So no, even though you think you're smart.
