Autonomous warfare demands the United States redefines air superiority in the 21st century. Jeff Wright, the founder and CEO of SplashOne Robotics, joins Rep. Crenshaw to explore the future of drone warfare, autonomous weapons, AI targeting, counter-drone defense, and the growing military competition with China. They break down lessons from Ukraine, China's dominance of the drone supply chain, vulnerabilities in America's critical infrastructure, the Pentagon's struggle to adopt emerging technology, the defense of Taiwan, and why reusable autonomous fighter drones could become the next evolution of air superiority.
