Mines, guided missiles, satellites and more recently drones, are just some of the military tech that have been developed over the last few hundred years. A new book 'The Hand Behind Unmanned' explores the factors and beliefs that led to the contemporary American arsenal and asks where it's headed in the future.
Julia Macdonald is the co-author of the book, as well as the Director of Research and Engagement at the Asia New Zealand Foundation, and a Research Professor at the University of Denver.
She's also held positions at the RAND Corporation, in Aotearoa at the Ministry of Defence, and Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet where she led development of New Zealand's first National Security Strategy.
Julia speaks with Susie Ferguson.

Christchurch Hospital clinical director John O'Donnell retires after 42 years

Photo: Supplied/Te Whatu Ora After 42 years working at Christchurch Hospital, John O'Donnell says it still feels like he just started yesterday. O'Donnell retired on Friday, 6 June, as clinical director of immunology/immunopathology. He started his time at Christchurch Hospital in 1977, as a medical student, moving up from Dunedin. After three years, he left for Waikato and was then based in a couple of other spots, including two years back in Christchurch, but by 1989, he was back as a consultant and he has remained ever since. O'Donnell has seen many changes in his time there, with the most notable being the complete change in the hospital buildings and the huge advances in computing technology. "When I started, there was no internet and there have been huge advances in computing technology," he said. "Email didn't exist, so communication is much more rapid, with cell phones and things like that. When we were on call, people used to carry around these bricks of a phone. I inherited one of those bricks to carry around." He said in laboratories, the automating of testing had also been a big change, although less so in his specialty area of immunology, where some testing still needed to be done manually. "You still get the scientist standing at a bench and pipetting things." He said there were also big changes in the understanding of the immune system. "Increasingly, it is recognised that many diseases we deal with are an aberration of the immune response. Certain diseases, like encephalitis or certain muscle diseases, it's the immune system attacking those organs to produce some quite bizarre changes in those organs, which we never thought of as being part of us, in terms of our immune system, going haywire. "We often saw them as perhaps a virus or some other thing, but often, it turns out it is the immune system attacking things." In Christchurch, he said there was an interest in muscle diseases and particularly those triggered by statin use. "Its a very rare complication, but it is one of the interests we have locally, testing for that sort of disorder called auto-immune myositis - an auto immune muscle inflammation. We have done some work and publications in that area." He still found the area fascinating and was amazed how quickly his time in the job had gone by. "I could have started yesterday." As he departed after more than 40 years, O'Donnell said the health system was going through its third major shake-up. "Health is always under strain," he said. "It's inevitable it will change. I don't think it's particularly helpful people yelling and posturing. Everybody knows there is a strain and we have to work together to come up with a system that works, without extracting things from other people all the time. "We have to work together and realise what the limitations are, and be realistic about what we can deliver, without crashing the system entirely."

New Zealand Defence Force using US Army wargame simulation software DATE
The US Army created this official training environment, called the Decisive Action Training Environment (DATE), in 2023 and the NZDF joined it soon after. Photo: TRADOC / US Army The New Zealand army is using US Army software that offers "worlds of wargames" simulations to help run massive real-world international military exercises. The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is this coming week embarking on one such exercise, sending about 700 soldiers to Talisman Sabre , a 35,000-strong Australian-US bilateral operation across the Tasman. It was also recently on a US-led exercise that used scenarios where militaries could choose from barely disguised pseudo-countries called, for instance, Olvana and Himaldesh, and click to set how intense the wargame would be. The US Army created this official training environment, called the Decisive Action Training Environment (DATE), in 2023 and the NZDF joined it soon after. One "world" it offers is the Indo-Pacific. "NZ Army has recently adopted DATE- INDOPACIFIC to define its training adversary, capabilities and tactics," the NZDF said last year. It has its own tab inserted into Australia's version of DATE. One "world" it offers is the Indo-Pacific. Photo: TRADOC / US Army One scenario offered there was "NZ operating as part of an ANZAC Division supported by elms [elements] of the SOUTH TORBIAN Army against a NORTH TORBIAN adversary fighting in SOUTH TORBIA". On maps, Torbia corresponded to the Philippines, while Olvana corresponded to most of China. The US Army said DATE provided a "foundational narrative" for wargames. "By continuously updating DATE World to reflect the evolving operational environment, the US Army ensures its soldiers are prepared to fight and win anywhere in the world," it said in the introduction. The US Army had control over updating the "worlds". Enemy forces were "realistically modelled", it said. The narrative about Olvana said it "maintains the largest military in the Pacific region" and "Olvana has successfully closed the technological gap that once separated it from Western militaries". Olvana had nuclear missiles, the game said, which laid out an elaborate force structure. The New Zealand version displayed a fake United Nations resolution that condemned the "Olvanan invasion of Belesia" and demanded withdrawal. The other worlds offered include Africa, Eurasia and Polar. The gamer enemy's capabilities would "continuously evolve to reflect the contemporary geostrategic situation", the NZDF site said. Real countries could be used as friendly or neutral actors, but "real countries cannot be used as belligerents in unclassified scenarios". DATE was also recently on a US-led exercise that used scenarios where militaries could choose from barely disguised pseudo-countries. Photo: TRADOC / US Army Links at the NZDF tab take a user back to the US site. Australia's version gives the capital of Olvana as Shanghai. The US Army unit behind DATE, called Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), said it helped army forces "out-think and outmanoeuvre adversaries". In April it put out a 42-page report titled " How China Fights in Large-Scale Combat Operations " that was disseminated to all US partners. The report would "drive curriculum development... support the writing of Army doctrine, and enhance the realism and relevance of US Army training scenarios". The growing threat from China has been an underlying theme in documents about several recent Pentagon initiatives to which New Zealand has signed up. One is Project Convergence, where NZDF took part for the first time last year, within a DATE world. The exercise was "pivotal", the NZDF said. "Engaging live Opposing Force (OPFOR) based on the ... DATE tactics which tested participants and pushed the capabilities in play to their limits. "It marks a significant milestone in New Zealand military collaboration and technological advancement." For this year's Project Convergence, the NZDF went to Texas to help the US plan the main exercise, briefed the US Army Futures Command afterwards and had to have all its technology vetted by the Americans, a response to a request under the Official Information Act (OIA) said. A "detailed enemy will be built across tactical and strategic activities", NZ Army records said. Its top objective at Convergence 2025 was to experiment with integrating its "Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Electronic Warfare" capabilities into the multinational force, the response said. The Pentagon initiatives New Zealand had joined were noted in an open letter to Prime Minister Christopher Luxon on Friday from several prominent people including Helen Clark and Don Brash . "More recently, the United States has described China not only as a competitor, but also as an adversary, and has been putting pressure on other countries to take sides," they wrote. They said the government was "positioning New Zealand alongside the United States as an adversary of China". "For example, since coming to office, your government has signed New Zealand up to a number of strategic groupings led by the United States." A footnote cited an opinion article in which Clark and an AUT historian Dr Marco de Jong said the groupings included the Partnership for Indo-Pacific Industrial Resilience (PIPIR) to link defence supply chains, and Project Overmatch which is the US Navy's equivalent of Project Convergence. RNZ first revealed New Zealand had signed up to these. The government did not publicly announce these moves. Another initiative that Clark and Brash and the other letter writers mentioned, was joining the elite space security group Operation Olympic Defender - the government did announce this last October, though it said more about its scientific than military links. Integrating its allies is now a top Pentagon priority. "The US is looking to advance its priorities through 'integrated deterrence': Using all levers of national power seamlessly with Allies and partners across the spectrum of conflict and warfighting domains into all theatres," its 2022 national defence strategy said. "Outside of AUKUS, the DoD (Pentagon) is not adequately integrating key allies and partners, thereby leaving significant resources and capabilities underutilized. Integrating emerging partners into its collaborative innovation network should be a top priority for the DoD," a Pentagon report on innovation said last year. ABC News in Australia last week headlined a story " Is the US preparing for war in the Pacific ?" "To counter a resurgent China, the US is racing to revitalise remote airstrips in the Pacific Ocean," it said.

US Supreme Court grants DOGE access to social security data
A Social Security Administration (SSA) office in Washington, DC. File photo. Photo: Saul Loeb / AFP A divided US Supreme Court has granted President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to the social security data of millions of Americans. The decision came after the Trump administration appealed to the top court to lift an April order by a district judge restricting DOGE access to Social Security Administration (SSA) records. "SSA may proceed to afford members of the SSA DOGE Team access to the agency records in question in order for those members to do their work," the top court said in a brief unsigned order. The three liberal justices on the Supreme Court dissented, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson saying the move poses "grave privacy risks for millions of Americans". "Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, bank-account numbers, medical records - all of that, and more, is in the mix," Jackson said. "The Government wants to give DOGE unfettered access to this personal, non-anonymised information right now - before the courts have time to assess whether DOGE's access is lawful," she said. In her April ruling, District Judge Ellen Hollander banned DOGE staff from accessing data containing information that could personally identify Americans such as their social security numbers, medical history or bank records. Social security numbers are a key identifier for people in the United States, used to report earnings, establish eligibility for welfare and retirement benefits and other purposes. Hollander said the SSA can only give redacted or anonymised records to DOGE employees who have completed background checks and training on federal laws, regulations and privacy policies. The case before Hollander was brought by a group of unions which argued that the SSA had opened its data systems to unauthorised personnel from DOGE "with disregard for the privacy" of millions of Americans. DOGE, which has been tasked by Trump with slashing billions of dollars of government spending, was headed at the time by SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk, who has since had a very public falling out with the president. Trump has been at loggerheads with the judiciary ever since he returned to the White House, venting his fury at court rulings at various levels that have frozen his executive orders on multiple issues. - AFP
