high-technology
Sophisticated modern systems
High-technology refers to the most advanced, sophisticated technology available at a given time—electronics, computing, biotechnology, aerospace.
As an adjective, it describes industries, products, or methods using such technology: high-technology manufacturing, high-technology weapons systems.
Often shortened to high-tech, which has largely replaced it in casual use.
