The Drone Ultimatum The Future of Space Security and Homeland Defense | Clayton Swope
Clayton Swope, Deputy Director of the Aerospace Security Project and Senior Fellow in the Defense and Security Department, joins us to break down the real state of U.S. space and missile defense.
We dig into how the Pentagon is thinking about space resilience, missile warning, and emerging threats from China and Russia.
Clayton explains where policy, budget, and strategy are aligned and where gaps still exist.We also get into the industrial base behind space systems, acquisition friction, and what “resilience” actually means in practice. If you work in defense, space, or national security policy, this conversation connects the dots between strategy and execution.
