The People's Republic of China continues to expand its already well-established contestation of ownership, access, and control of ports throughout the world.They have done this in parallel with building the world's largest navy and a diverse set of military capabilities clearly designed with one purpose—defeating the U.S. military in the Indo-Pacific.Returning to Midrats to discuss this and related topics is be T. X. Hammes.T.X. is a distinguished research fellow at the Center for Strategic Research, National Defense University. He served 30 years in the U.S. Marine Corps.Show LinksChina's exploitation of overseas ports and basesKratos XQ-58 ValkyrieAres anti-ship cruise missileTyphonMWI Podcast: The Future Battlefield, from Europe to the Indo-PacificThe Eastern FrontSummaryIn this conversation, Sal, Mark, and T.X. Hammes discuss the implications of China's global expansion, particularly its military strategy and naval capabilities. They explore how China is leveraging its control over ports and logistics to challenge U.S. dominance in the Indo-Pacific. The discussion also delves into operational planning assumptions for potential conflict with China, the historical context of long wars, and the challenges facing U.S. military readiness. Innovative solutions for naval warfare, the importance of economic exhaustion and sea control, and the role of mines in modern warfare are also examined. The conversation concludes with thoughts on the future of military technology and the potential for leveraging civilian resources in military operations.TakeawaysChina's global expansion poses significant challenges to U.S. interests.The U.S. Navy must adapt to China's growing naval capabilities.China's unconventional use of ports can disrupt global trade.Long wars are historically common between healthy powers.U.S. military readiness is not sufficient for a prolonged conflict.Innovative solutions like missile barges could enhance naval warfare.Economic exhaustion is a critical factor in long-term conflicts.Mines could play a crucial role in modern naval strategy.The focus should shift from platforms to payloads in military planning.Leveraging civilian resources can enhance military capabilities.Chapters00:00: Introduction to China's Global Expansion02:36: China's Naval Capabilities and Strategic Ports10:42: Planning Assumptions for Potential Conflict21:29: Control of the Sea and Economic Exhaustion30:26: Utilizing Merchant Ships in Warfare33:27: Investing in Future Military Technologies35:44: Innovative Solutions for Pacific Defense40:11: The Role of Unmanned Systems in Modern Warfare42:57: Lessons from the Russo-Ukrainian War44:59: Adapting Combined Arms for Modern Conflicts48:44: The Importance of Flexibility in Naval Operations53:10: Building a Resilient Merchant Fleet55:57: Exploring New Strategies for Warfare01:00:50: Future Directions in Military Strategy

Beth sits down with three members of Vaya Space, a hybrid rocket engine and small satellite launcher company!  Mickael Buswell, Brian Ha, and Grant Begley explain how they're working to offer frequent, reliable, economical, and environmentally-friendly small satellite launch opportunities in precise orbital placement…by using hybrid rockets that are redefining the cost, performance, and safety of space access! Using their proprietary technology, STAR-3D™ hybrid rocket engines are produced by 3D printing fuel grains using thermoplastic material. It's pretty incredible, and it's all in this episode of Casual Space!  Learn more about Grant Begley: Grant is the Chief Executive Officer at Vaya Space. In addition, Mr. Begley is CAPT. USN (RET, a Former Pentagon Senior Advisor for Unmanned Systems, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense.  He served as the former Director of Stealth, Counter Stealth-Technology, Policy & Advance Programs for the U.S. Dept. of Defense, and a Team leader for the White House “Roadmap for U. S. Robotics 2013” project. Grant Begley also serves on the Board of Directors for the Association of Unmanned Vehicles International.  Learn more about Vaya Space, their unique rockets and innovative production methods and hybrid rocket propulsion technology here: https://www.vayaspace.com/ Check out Brian Ha: Brian got his start in aerospace engineering at San Jose State University in Silicon Valley. He discovered a passion for building aerospace startups are after joining a satellite-imaging company called Skybox Imaging in 2014. There he was introduced to the relatively niche, but endlessly interesting, engineering specialty known as “Guidance, Navigation, and Control”. After realizing he lacked the necessary technical depth to be a GNC engineer, he decided to leave sunny California in 2017 to pursue a Master's degree at the University of Michigan. Two brutal mid-western winters later, he earned his GNC degree and joined Northrop Grumman out in Phoenix, Arizona to build launch vehicles and missiles. After realizing that he does not like the “dry heat”, he joined small-sat launch provider Vaya Space out in Cocoa, Florida. These days, Brian deals with torrential rainfall and summer thunderstorms as he leads the GNC design of Vaya's first orbital launch vehicle. Perhaps one day he'll find a climate that suits him. Mickael Buswell: Is a structural designer who's interested in applying organic design and mass optimization principles to revolutionize space structures and mechanisms, ranging from launch vehicles, to satellites, and ultimately space stations/habitats.

For WasteShark creator Richard Hardiman, pure chance led to an exciting idea. Richard, who is the founder and CEO of Netherlands-based startup RanMarine Technology, didn't set out to create an autonomous robot that cleans pollution from the sea. But while having a cup of coffee at a waterfront cafe, he saw something that started him thinking about solving a problem. And the steps he took, in bringing the world's first autonomous aquadrone, called the WasteShark, from concept to reality, can serve as a guideline for anyone with a creative idea. The WasteShark, designed in the shape of a whale shark, operates like a vacuum--removing plastic pollutants from waterways. It can also remove biomass, such as algae. And in the process, it can transmit data about the body of water in which it's operating. At CES® 2022, in Las Vegas in January, the WasteShark won a CES® Innovation Award in the "Drones and Unmanned Systems" category. And as the world focuses on addressing the problem of climate change,, major-name companies are using the WasteShark in harbors, marinas and parks to clean waterways and prevent future pollution problems. And the WasteShark is just the first of RanMarine Technology's innovations. During CES® 2022, Richard and his team premiered additional new technology that will enable a fleet of these aquadrones to work together. Richard also says new versions of the "shark" are scheduled to roll out, later this year. Richard shared the story of creating the WasteShark, explained how it works and offered a preview of RanMarine's future technological offerings. On this edition of Over Coffee®, we cover: How Richard "accidentally" came up with his concept for the WasteShark aquatic drone; The steps from there (and an important catalyst, for him, to the creative process!); How the WasteShark works; What users see if they to manually operate the aquadrone (created to be very user-friendly); What happens next!; Where RanMarine Technology is currently, with deploying the WasteShark, and their future goals; Richard's experience at CES® 2022 The new technology which RanMarine Technology introduced during CES®; What Richard, as someone without robotics experienc,e, had to learn to make the WasteShark a reality; Some of the challenges and considerations involved in creating an aquadrone; What data the WasteShark communicates back, about the qualities of the water in which it is operating; How any creative can apply the steps Richard took, in making the WasteShark a reality, to bring an idea to life; RanMarine Technology's experience with the CES® 2022 Innovation Award; A closer look at two forthcoming "shark" pollution-combating drones--including one you'll hear about for the first time here! Some highlights, and a low point, of Richard's journey, as he and his team designed the WasteShark. Would you like to see the WasteShark, and additional future innovations from RanMarine Technology, in action? Here's a link to their YouTube channel!

This event is part of The Cyber Intelligence Initiative Series sponsored by The Institute of World Politics. About the lecture: RPA is currently the fastest-growing enterprise technology, according to Gartner. RPA is also the core of hyper-automation, the number 1 strategic technology trend for 2020. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the technology allowing every level of government to deploy software robots to perform specific tasks in an automated way. RPA software uses a combination of integrations, advanced technologies, and cognitive processes. RPA can be used to mimic or emulate selected tasks allowing agencies to liberate their workforce from mundane, tedious, and boring tasks and move to what the Office of Personnel Management calls higher-valued work. These may include manipulating data, passing data to and from various applications, triggering responses, or executing transactions. The power of RPA is it securely acts as the workflow for other digital technologies. The UiPath fully automated enterprise is broadly deployed across 79 agencies and 11 states. Agencies are using RPA and other digital labor to bridge the gap between new technologies and legacy systems, to digitally transform government, supplement a shrinking workforce while increasing compliance, reducing errors, saving tax-dollars, and serving citizens better. This discussion will cover the history of RPA in the federal government, provide demonstrations, and look to the future of the fully automated enterprise as hyper-automation takes hold in the government's automation era.

Topic Discussed : Four Disruptive Trends in SecuritySpeaker: Alix LeboulangerKey takeaways:Frost & Sullivan has identified four different trends disrupting security operations as game changers to augment mission success and multiply forces capabilities on terrainThe combination of new technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, and new recipients such as wearable devices and unmanned systems that makes it very promising to security forces. . Deploying semi-autonomous and remotely-controlled systems into security operations has been slower to implement at the anticipated scale due to technological and legal barriers. However, the rising emergence of new technologies such as AR, cloud based storage and communications, and AI-enabled traffic control are bringing more certainty and realism into the picture, with therefore more likely manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) operations at the horizon.Machine learning based algorithms have been initially deployed in evidence collection and crime prevention. Beyond life savings unrivaled benefits, crime prediction powered by AI is becoming a useful tool for patrols and efficient resources management, better planning and proportionate meansWith an ever growing trend towards outsourcing security activities, from protecting CNI, corporations or ensuring public safety, Security as a Service (SECaaS) is naturally finding its way as a perfect match to address customers’ requirements and budget sensitivity, with an idea to get an adequate and modular security solution to fit operational needs, as per the “on demand” trend.For further insights, please join us for future podcasts and become a member of Frost & Sullivan’s Leadership Council by emailing us at: digital@frost.com or click here to Contact Us.Related Keywords: Frost & Sullivan, Digital Transformation, Augmented Reality, Unmanned Systems, Artificial Intelligence/AI, Security as a Service, Wearable DevicesWebsite: www.frost.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Randall Warnas started Drones Plus in Las Vegas in 2014, resulting in expansion all over North America. Drones Plus turned into the largest brick and mortar drone store in the world, which caught the eye of DJI. DJI was able to convince Randall to join their team, where he went on to start DJI Enterprise. While working at DJI, Randall had his hands on the first 50 FLIR XT payloads off the production line. Similar to how he caught the eye of DJI by building the largest drone store in the world, his interest and prowess with the FLIR XT caught the eye of FLIR. The result? FLIR Commercial Systems took him on as their Global sUAS Segment Leader. During our chat I made reference to it being a natural progression, but Randall made a good counter point to the word "progression." Do you agree with his thoughts on his journey? In addition to discussing what it's like working at FLIR and DJI, we also discuss infrared technology including MSX and motion blur. We also dive into a discussion about Drone Delivery Canada and Foremost Centre for Unmanned Systems in Alberta. Randall is also a Part 107 pilot, but prefers to fly recreationally most of the time. He has DJI, Autel, Parrot, and Intel drones that he enjoys flying when he's travelling. That sounds like a nice selection, and a lot of extra cases in the trunk! Anyway, this was a great chat with a real leader in the drone industry. He flies, he evangelizes, and is an awesome voice for the drone industry. If you want to hear more from Randall, be sure to check out his FLIR Deltapodcast wherever you get your audio.

News from the 2015 AUVSI Conference, including the Pathfinder Program where the FAA partners with industry to develop commercial UAS technology. AUVSI Unmanned Systems 2015 Conference The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) held its Unmanned Systems 2015 Conference May 4-7 in Atlanta, Georgia. At the Conference, the FAA announced the “Pathfinder Program” which it called “a partnership with industry to explore the next steps in unmanned aircraft operations beyond the type of operations the agency proposed in the draft small unmanned aircraft systems rule it published in February.” Speech – "UAS Pathfinder Program Announcement Press Conference" Press Release – FAA-Industry Initiative Will Expand Small UAS Horizons In his speech, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said, “We're partnering with three leading U.S. companies who have committed extensive resources to perform research that will help us determine if and how we can safely expand unmanned aircraft operations in the United States. These companies reached out to the FAA to work with us on exploring three key types of unmanned operations.” The industry partners and three focus areas are: Visual line-of-sight operations in urban areas. CNN will look at how UAS might be safely used for newsgathering in populated areas. Extended visual line-of-sight operations in rural areas. This concept involves UAS flights outside the pilot's direct vision. UAS manufacturer PrecisionHawk will explore how this might allow greater UAS use for crop monitoring in precision agriculture operations. Beyond visual line-of-sight in rural/isolated areas. BNSF Railway will explore command-and-control challenges of using UAS to inspect rail system infrastructure. Huerta said, “We anticipate receiving valuable data from each of these trials that could result in FAA-approved operations in the next few years. They will also give insight into how unmanned aircraft can be used to transform the way certain industries do business – whether that means making sure trains run on time, checking on the health of crops, or reporting on a natural disaster.” On the NPRM, Huerta commented on the number of public comments received, noting that it will take time to address them and finalize the rule. The Pathfinder Program is designed to expand expand the use of unmanned aircraft in the meantime. PrecisionHawk to work with FAA on UAV extended line-of-sight safety PrecisionHawk will formulate a framework for fixed wing and multirotor UAVs for missions in agriculture, forestry, and other rural industries. PrecisionHawk will also test its LATAS (Low Altitude Tracking & Avoidance System) traffic management system. AUVSI: New tethered UAV for CNN CNN announced that it will become the launch customer for the Drone Aviation Corp WATT UAV.  This tethered drone that can take power from the tether and simultaneously transmit data back to the ground. The electric quadrotor is activated with a mobile tablet and can hover at up to 300 feet for 8 hours.
