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 Texas, that means modernizing defense health technology in San Antonio and the ever-expanding Army Futures Command with its hub now located in Austin. The research and development starting in the south will spark technological shifts that will accelerate tomorrow’s military.

Defense One and Nextgov teamed up for the latest installment in the Genius Machines event series, where our editors will sit down with leading defense and technology experts to showcase the government leaders and researchers who are shaping defense technology from The Lone Star State.
