Facing Coming Storms #43: Defence tech, innovation and institutional inertia

Episode description: What happens when the speed of modern warfare outpaces the systems designed to manage it? In this episode of Facing Coming Storms, we are joined by Eva Sula, Estonian defence adviser and mentor at NATO’s Defence Innovation Accelerator (DIANA), and Robert Fetters, former US Army paratrooper and special operations officer now working in defence technology. Together, we explore how defence innovation is colliding with institutional barriers and what that means for NATO, Europe, and the future battlefield.
