There’s a lot of buzz these days around missile defense, but not much discussion around how missile defense actually works. In this episode of the Mission Matters podcast, Matt and I sit down with Shield Capital Operating Partner and former Director of the Missile Defense Agency, Ltg. (ret.) Pat O’Reilly, to discuss the current state of missile defense.
We cover:
How missile defense actually works, breaking down a) the threats b) the kill chain and c) firing doctrine
How missile defense has changed over the last several decades
The role of startups and emerging technologies in the future of missile defense
The state of our adversaries’ missile and missile defense systems
As always, please let us know your thoughts, and please reach out if you or anyone you know is building in the national security domain.
