Abstract: The development and application of disruptive technologies will have a huge impact on the global scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. This paper combed the scientific and technological innovation strategies relevant to disruptive technologies of the world's major powers of science and technology, focusing on the “Science & Technology Trends: 2020-2040” report. It was found that over the next 20 years in the military field, emerging disruptive technology would be intelligent, interconnected, distributed, and digital. Precision warfare, autonomous systems & agents, battle networks, expanding domains and other military applications might be generated. The development trends of new disruptive technologies in the areas of big data, artificial intelligence, autonomy, space technologies, hypersonics, quantum technologies, biotechnology, and materials, as well as the influence of technology portfolio were analyzed. On this basis, this paper proposed that it is essential to systemically arrange and strengthen the identification and prediction of future new disruptive technology development trends, attach great importance to the civil-military fusion research and application of emerging disruptive technologies, support the S&T frontier studies of the S&T think-tanks and strategic S&T information agencies.
