Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why don't we see drone swarms in Ukraine? w. Yuri Kozik
Q: What is the current state of AI-controlled drone swarms on the battlefield?
AI-assisted swarms exist in testing and more limited deployments, but reliable, fully autonomous swarms are not yet a reality due to evolving target recognition, environmental variability, and the need for human-in-the-loop decision making.
Accelerating your defence innovation and working in defence tech - Rasmus Basilier from Millog (Mighty Finland recording)
Q: What is the biggest paradigm shift in defence tech given the Ukraine conflict?
The pace of adversary innovation is accelerating, especially with drones, drones in swarms, and new tactics, which means we must redesign our acquisition and testing processes to be faster, more flexible, and capable of integrating outside tech quickly.
Ukraine vs. NATO - how to interpret what we learn
Q: What is mission command and why is it hard to implement with many brigades?
Mission command gives units a task and expects initiative, but with many brigades under centralized oversight, information bottlenecks and slow dissemination undermine its effectiveness, hindering agile execution.
Ukraine vs. NATO - how to interpret what we learn
Q: What is Ukraine changing in their command structure, and why does it matter for how contractors build tech for the battlefield?
Ukraine is shifting from a multi-brigade, centralized command toward core, autonomous units to improve agility and decision speed; this matters for tech development because tools must support rapid, decentralized decision-making and clear unit-level ownership.
Someone is planning to break your defence product - can you find it out first? w. Gregory Letare
Q: How would I defeat myself?
The guest stresses iterative, adversarial thinking: define the scope and environment, then simulate both blue and red forces, assess weaknesses, and repeatedly adjust the product and strategy to withstand countermeasures.
