Couple of months ago, deep underground in Ukrainian bunker. Anyone got any ideas? Doesn’t matter how odd, let’s have them. Voice from the back: “this, but with drones”.

How many IRTBs, conferences, ITT, working groups, endless Teams meetings, onboarding consultants, demonstrations, procurement, oversight, reviews, acceptance tests, tranches of AHs, SO1 & 2s, months/years of Badmin & biblical piles of cash would this take us?

SDR: “Due to retention issues, we anticipate fewer boots on the ground, but they will be very committed boots on the ground” Also: AI, swarming drones, agile, delivered at pace of relevance…
