In Part 2 of this Drone Wars double episode, guest Brian Streem returns to explore the widening gap between U.S. defense procurement cycles and the real-time demands of drone warfare.
From Ukraine’s open-source FPV innovation to the rise of small, global drone startups, Brian and the hosts dissect how commercial agility is outpacing traditional military processes—and what that means for future conflicts.
Topics include:
- Why the U.S. is struggling to field drones at scale
- How startups are out-innovating multi-billion dollar programs
- The cultural mismatch between DOD timelines and battlefield urgency
- What Ukraine’s drone ecosystem teaches us about asymmetric speed and effectiveness
🎧 This is a must-listen for anyone thinking about the future of U.S. defense tech, battlefield innovation, and what comes next in unmanned warfare.
