Factory Floor Warfare: Why America’s Drone Gap Is a Supply Chain Problem. With Brett Freedman

The next defense advantage may come down to who can build, replace, and adapt faster. Brett Freedman, Senior Director of Emerging Technology at the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology, fellow at the Strauss Center for International Security and Law,  Partner at Gray Space Strategies, and a former senior national security official across DOJ, NSA, the White House, and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, joins Kit Conklin to examine why drones, batteries, export controls, and enforcement now sit at the center of economic security and thus national security. From Ukraine’s drone lessons and U.S. manufacturing constraints to FISA 702, CFIUS, and DOJ’s National Security Division, hear why companies need to take risks and work with government to tackle the choke points our adversaries still control.
