The Impact of Emerging Technology on Humans (IETH) - Current Advice

The purpose of this study is to improve the MoD's understanding of the impact of emerging technology on humans in the military environment, and specifically to address the following three tasks:

• To collate and review Technology Insertion (TI) advice and guidance from the UK and overseas;
• To review representative off the shelf TI case studies at the sub-system, system and system of systems levels;
• To develop a framework for understanding the TI context.

The focus of this study is the impact of emerging technology on humans - that is to say, on how to handle the undefined problems of new or emerging technology rather than the known issues of patching with existing technology. This document is a technical progress report to collate and review current Technology Insertion (TI) advice and guidance from the UK and overseas.
