The Citi Institute Podcast Hybrid Warfare, AI, and Leadership in an Age of Disruption
Charles Armitage examines the ongoing tension between defense innovation and the preservation of legacy military capabilities, underscoring the need for a layered, cost-effective defense model rather than reliance on any single “golden bullet” solution.
General Sir Adrian Bradshaw discusses how modern warfare now extends far beyond traditional military power, encompassing hybrid threats, cyber warfare, and national resilience.
Together, they address the critical question of how nations can motivate political leaders and the public to sustain the investment, innovation, and political will needed for defense modernization. Their insights reveal the complex, fast-evolving nature of global security, and the importance of a holistic, adaptive, and ethically grounded defense posture in an era of rising geopolitical tension.
