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.
Focused on ‘near space’, Planetfall uses high-altitude balloons to lift payloads above weather and much of conventional air defence, before releasing a guided parafoil to deliver them to a target.
We get into the technology, the operational thinking behind it, and why near-space systems could become increasingly important to future warfare.
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.
Ghost Shift - helping governments and industry achieve information dominance
In this episode, we talk with Tom Sefton-Collins, a former GCHQ operational leader turned founder of Ghost Shift, a British defence technology company helping governments and industry achieve information dominance.
We discuss Europe's rearmament, why information has become a strategic capability in its own right, the challenges defence organisations face when navigating vast amounts of data, and how Ghost Shift is helping to make faster, better-informed decisions through intelligent software.
