The provided text analyzes Russia's integrated dual-use technology strategy in the Arctic, highlighting how civilian economic development directly supports military modernization. It examines three key technological areas: dual-purpose platforms like Vityaz all-terrain vehicles and nuclear icebreakers, advanced C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) architecture including UAVs and the GLONASS/Sfera satellite systems, and the integration of climate change adaptation with resilient energy solutions such as AI-driven navigation and modular floating nuclear power plants. While acknowledging Russia's unique Arctic capabilities, the analysis also identifies vulnerabilities in its logistical system and dependence on foreign technology. Ultimately, it discusses the geopolitical implications of this strategy, particularly in the context of the deepening Sino-Russian partnership and the expanded NATO presence, leading to an intensification of "gray zone" tactics in the High North.
