Widespread civilian access to quantum encryption could severely reduce SIGINT, forcing militaries to rely more on HUMINT, ISR, and alternative collection methods while reshaping C4ISR, diplomacy, and operational planning in future conflicts.Learning Outcomes
- Understand how quantum encryption could disrupt traditional SIGINT.
- Assess how loss of SIGINT affects airpower, ISR, and targeting operations.
- Analyse the potential shift towards HUMINT, cyber, and multi-source intelligence in denied environments.
