Recorded live at Prism, this episode of Behind the Flight features Jeremy Cooper, Managing Director of Platform Aerospace UK.

He shares how a 28-year RAF career shaped his leadership style and how those lessons now apply to building a high-growth aerospace business.

The conversation explores his transition from military to industry, why persistence is critical in uncrewed aerial systems, and what it takes to build a UK presence within a scaling US company. It also covers the impact of regulation and procurement on innovation, alongside the growing importance of cyber, autonomy and multi-mission systems.
