In this episode of the Mission Matters podcast, Akhil and Maggie sit down with Andrew Puryear, the CTO of L3Harris, the 6th largest U.S. defense prime, to discuss L3Harris's "trusted disruptor strategy." As part of this strategy, L3Harris partners with startups to bring cutting edge capabilities to the warfighter. We cover:

- How startups should approach working with large primes

- What lessons the U.S. should (and shouldn't) be learning from the war in Ukraine

- The role AI, electronic warfare, air and missile defense, and more will have on future battlefields

- And much more

As always, please reach out if you or anyone you know is building in the national security startup space.
