ABOUT

In the last five years, the tools used in defense have evolved from a staple of science fiction to a real-world magnet for large-scale investment. In Hawaii, that means channeling technological advances for Indo-Pacific security. As the administration's defense strategy has pivoted towards China and great power competition, how is the U.S. matching new capabilities to new strategy, and what needs to happen next?

Defense One and Nextgov teamed up for the latest installment in the Genius Machines event series, where editors sat down with leading defense and technology experts to showcase the government leaders and researchers who are shaping strategy and technology from the Pacific.
