Approachable Solutions From Tanks to Teleportation

There are newer computer parts in museums than in some of the Department of Defense's most important systems. Rachel Kolesnikov-Lindsey, an active-duty U.S. Air Force Major working for the Defense Innovation Unit, was able to get some 1970s radar tech upgraded in about 3 months. The Defense Innovation Unit is a fast-moving Department of Defense organization that solves national security problems using commercial technology. Join Rachel, along with hosts Dan Dillard and Zach Walker, to learn more about why it's so important that the military is using technology from this decade and why there are so many roadblocks in the way.
