Today we were fortunate to hear from the US Deputy Secretary of Defense, Kathleen Hicks, at Royal United Services Institute. She discussed the lessons from Ukraine, and how they relate to the Indo-Pacific. Two of her points particularly resonated with our mission at Delian: 1. Commercial tech with few modifications is "proving useful again and again". 2. It's the age of "precise mass". Autonomous and attritable platforms have a crucial role to play. Precision means mass matters once more. And precise mass is enabled by the use of commercial products. As she added, Ukraine has galvanised democracies to jumpstart their industrial base. "We are rebuilding the arsenal of democracies. Plural". Alliances make our industries stronger.

Last weekend we were proud sponsors of the European Defense Tech hackathon at STATION F, Paris. 170 people & 34 teams worked on some of the most important problems in defense. The energy was exceptional, and we hope to collaborate with many of the individuals in future. Congrats to Florian Corgnou, Gregor Lenz, Karl Vetter, Filipp Trigub, Kai Dierenbach, Shannah Santucci, Enrique Munoz de Cote & Patrick for winning! Their project detected and tracked UAVs across difficult light conditions. The competition was fierce though, and the strong runners up included: 2nd place: "Magnetic Navigation for Submarine drones" by Hugo Biais, Axel Nguyen--Kerbel, Stefan AGRICI, David Podolskyi & Yoan Di Cosmo 3rd place: "Anti-Helicopter Mine" by Antoine Besset and Adhémar de Senneville. Last, thanks to Benjamin Wolba, Jonatan H. Luther-Bergquist and Cyrus Hessabi for organising. Bullish on the future of European defence!

Thanks to The Economist for spotlighting us as an example of European defence tech. As the author writes, "The fight to transform warfare is not just taking place on the battlefield". https://lnkd.in/eNBscffp

At a time of renewed focus on European defence autonomy, this piece by Air Street Capital is brilliant on the lessons to be learned from Eurodrone. “How the EU spent 16 years and €8 billion on a drone that may never fly”… Air Street’s key lessons: 1. “If something works, just buy it” - don’t drown projects in endless requirements. 2. “Big defence contractors aren’t your friend” - they have no incentive to move fast, unlike startups. 3. “You can just do stuff” - modern conflict makes it vital to procure quickly. 4. “The era of the exquisite platform is over” - “It’s why we’re so bullish on companies combining commercial off-the-shelf hardware with advanced AI, like our friends at Delian Alliance Industries”… 5. “Learn when to cut your losses”. We’d highly recommend reading the full article here: https://lnkd.in/exwGHZVh
