Is Ukraine Rewriting the Business of Defense?

from The Call by the Global Intelligence Desk · host The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Global Intelligence Desk

For decades, defense acquisition followed a familiar path: develop, test, procure, then deploy. Ukraine has turned that model on its head, deploying systems into combat, refining through operational experience, returning to the field rapidly with improvements compressing development cycles from years to weeks.  UFORCE, led by our guest today, entrepreneur and CEO Oleg Rogynskyy, is now bringing that approach to allied militaries in the West, reflecting a broader shift in how military capability is created. The young company has attracted significant attention from Western governments, defense partners, and investors, helping establish UFORCE as one of Europe's fastest-rising defense technology companies. He talks with host Jay Sapsford about his approach and how the Ukrainian model of stimulating defense innovation is changing the face of the battlefield.-The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests from the U.S. Chamber's Global Intelligence Desk. Live access to The Call is a benefit to the Chamber’s members; however, we are pleased to provide recordings of the calls for wider listening thereafter.Learn more about the Global Intelligence Desk: https://globalintelligencedesk.com/Join the conversation on LinkedIn:   / global-intelligence-desk
