On April 8, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Kyle Atwell co-hosted an episode of the Modern War Institute’s Irregular Warfare Podcast titled “Dynamite to drones: The diffusion of lethal technology to terrorists and insurgents.” Atwell attempts to answer how nonstate actors use low-end technologies to their advantage and how the government can counter this proliferation of dangerous technologies.
Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
