Episode Summary:
In this episode, Heather "Lucky" Penney and Brig. Gen. Houston Cantwell, USAF (Ret.) discuss the small UAV threat and how the Air Force is fighting back with Col. Alfred Rosales, Commander of the 319th Reconnaissance Wing, and Lt. Col. Cody Moore, ACC Directorate of Operations A35 division chief. It's no secret: small UAVs are driving massive battlespace change. From Ukraine to the Middle East, cheap and highly adaptable UAVs are attacking at scale. Traditional air defense systems are strained trying to meet the threat. We talk about the Point Defense Battle Lab at Grand Forks AFB, layered sensing capability, and training airmen for the counter-UAV mission.
