FUTURE FRONTIERS PODCAST
in collaboration with Millilux.ioJoin us as we explore the people, technologies and ideas shaping the future of defence across NATO and allied nations.
Through candid conversations with founders, operators, investors and military leaders, we uncover the innovations redefining security.
Battle Bottle - an AI brain to make the most cost-optimised drone deployment decisions
In this episode, we talk with Francis Jones, founder of Battle Bottle, a UK defence tech company developing an AI brain that sits between sensors and effectors to make the most cost-optimised drone deployment decisions.
We discuss how to reduce decision fatigue as operators have an increasing number of uncrewed systems at their disposal and how AI can help improve the cost asymmetry of modern warfare.
Nova Blue Technologies - How Defence Can Harness AI Without Creating New Risks
In this episode we talk to David Collins OBE at Nova Blue Technologies, to explore some of the fastest-moving challenges facing defence and critical industries.
We discuss whether AI is democratising offensive cyber capabilities faster than organisations can respond, how human error continues to underpin many successful breaches, whether cybersecurity awareness training needs a complete rethink, and how defence companies can harness AI without creating new risks.
Tanner Yackley - Former MQ-9 Reaper Instructor turned uncrewed systems, human factors and autonomy expert
In this episode, we talk with former MQ-9 Reaper Instructor turned uncrewed systems, human factors and autonomy expert, Tanner Yackley
Having supported over 1,000 combat missions and accumulated more than 3,400 flight hours, Tanner brings his first-hand experience of operating advanced autonomous systems to discuss the rapid evolution of uncrewed systems, the role of AI-enabled capabilities, and how human-machine integration will shape the next generation of defence operations.
C2GRID - 3D environments to better understand battlespaces
In this episode, we speak with Heiti Kruusmaa, Co-founder and COO of C2GRID, a European defence tech company transforming drone footage into near real-time, hyper realistic 3D environments to give operators a richer understanding of the battlespace.
We discuss how the character of warfare is changing, the growing importance of geospatial intelligence, the challenges of making sense of vast amounts of battlefield data, and how AI-powered 3D reconstruction is helping commanders make better-informed decisions.
