Episode notes
Air–Ground Littoral Is A New Battleground
- The emerging contested space between ground and low-altitude air is saturating with drones and changing operations.
- We lack effective warfighting systems to operate and protect forces in that air-ground littoral.
Prioritize Localized Protection For Land Forces
- Do develop localized protection capabilities so land forces can move and fight under saturated low-altitude threats.
- Focus industry efforts on shielding maneuver forces from precise drone attacks above them.
Judge Tech By What It Enables On The Ground
- Technological change must be judged by how it restores core land-force functions like seizing and holding ground.
- Combined-arms and joint operations remain central; new tech must enable, not replace, them.
