Ecosystem of Air Defense Policy

The podcast highlights the collaborative ecosystem that shapes air defense policies and spending in the U.S. This includes key legislators involved in drafting important legislation like the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as well as think tanks providing expert insights. Alongside the federal government, especially the Department of Defense (DoD), private-sector players also contribute significantly by winning government contracts to advance warfighting capabilities. Notably, new entrants such as startups are emerging alongside traditional defense contractors, enhancing the overall capabilities available to the DoD.
