How do the technologies of the future fit into the latest strategic review of UK defence policy?

The UK Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy revealed cuts to conventional defence spending as the MoD now focuses on building a digital backbone through investments in AI, robots and cyberspace capabilities.
