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.
