In this session, we take a hard look at unmanned systems, the myths surrounding their threat, and the realities of drone defense.

We ask: How can militaries defend against drones today without losing tomorrow? How can innovation be harnessed efficiently within the defense ecosystem? And what role should procurement, policy, and experimentation play in Adaptive Warfare?

These insights set the stage for the subsequent panel discussion, where experts from industry, academia, and investment will debate practical solutions to the next challenge in unmanned warfare.
