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 San Diego, these developments are happening around the Pacific, as technology experts in the Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps create new tools to secure air, land, sea and space. From autonomous vehicles to advanced weapons and intelligence gathering, civilian, defense, and intelligence agencies stationed on the West Coast are using technology to guide future actions and protect against threats.

Join Defense One and Nextgov 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, tech experts and researchers who are riding the seas of change and shaping the future of defense technology.
