LASER WEAPONS
Defense Tech has an item on the status of laser weapon development. I think this, along with robotics, is the most important just-over-horizon development in military technology. Such weapons promise a meaningful defense against ballistic weapons at every scale, from ICBMs to mortar shells. They are also very promising "assymetrical" weapons since our most likely opponents over the next 50 years are unlikely to have such weapons.
