NODA AI CTO, Ken Hampshire, discusses the importance of Commander's Intent for the evolution of drone warfare alongside Michael Kofman and Dara Massicot in a new segment of War on the Rocks. The intrepid team covers a lot of ground in this episode: the increasing fluidity of the battlefield, drones and air defense, the biting Black Sea campaign, the causes and aftermath of the firing of Ukraine’s popular defense minister, why Ukraine probably cannot produce PAC-3 air defense missiles (despite what some journalists are telling you), and the likelihood of a new round of Russian mobilization.
