Episode notes
- How do defence planners navigate the dilemma between investing in next-generation technologies versus proven, traditional capabilities—and what are the risks of overcommitting to either path?
- What role should data infrastructure (e.g. battlefield cloud, satellite links, secure 5G) play in shaping the next generation of defence capabilities—and what are the risks of digital fragility?
- In a world where brute-force deterrence still matters, how should defence planners weigh investments in heavy, conventional assets versus sleek, next-generation technologies that promise speed, precision, and autonomy?
- We see a surge of investment flowing into defence tech, but with governments remaining the primary — and often only — customer, is there a risk of a bubble forming?
