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.
Digital Concepts Engineering (DCE), Autonomous Land Systems for the 21st-Century Battlefield
In this episode, we talk with Ben 'Bags' Simmons, Trials and Development Manager at Digital Concepts Engineering (DCE).
We get into how DCE came to be and what this new generation of uncrewed systems could mean for the way militaries operate, the thinking behind Task Force RAPSTONE, the British Army’s rapid-procurement initiative aimed at accelerating the deployment of uncrewed systems, and DCE’s experience developing robotic control systems and uncrewed vehicles.
Planetfall - a novel payload-to-point delivery system to avoid air defences
In this episode, we speak to Victor Süsskind, founder of Planetfall, building the infrastructure layer between air and space.
We get into the technology, the operational thinking behind it, and why near-space systems could become increasingly important to future warfare.
Unbreakable Projects -Validation-as-a-Service (VaaS) for Extreme Environments
In the episode, we talk to Daniel Lansley, director and co-founder of Unbreakable Projects, a defence company that offers validation-as-a-service to test products, systems, and technologies in some of the world’s most hostile and unpredictable environments.
We talk about their first project, Mission 001 on Everest taking place in the next few weeks, the need to test new hardware solutions in the high north due to the current geopolitical situation and their advisory team that brings together former Tier 1 special forces and Commando veterans.
MissionOpsAI - Total Data Sovereignty Solutions for Defence
In this episode, we talk to James Milnes, founder of MissionOpsAI, a UK-based defence tech company focused on bringing 'Mission Command' governance and data sovereignty to defence.
We discuss how the lack of transparency and control in current AI models is affecting high-stakes industries, how their work enables organisations to orchestrate multi-model AI workflows on their own infrastructure, maintain total data sovereignty, and ensure every autonomous decision is backed by an immutable audit trail.
