Session Description

What does hypersonics reveal about the way defence innovates? In this fireside chat, Zach Shore (Hermeus) argues the barriers aren’t only technical — they’re cultural. Drawing on experience at Hermeus, Anduril, and in uniform, he’ll explore the need for faster adoption, younger leadership, and building integrated systems rather than stand-alone technologies. Expect a provocative look at hypersonics as a case study in the future of defence innovation.
