Autonomous Frontlines and the Rise of Stark: Florian Seibel on the Future of Drone WarfareFlorian Seibel returns for part two of our Drone Wars conversation to unpack the deeper implications of autonomy in warfare and the launch of his new company, Stark. He discusses why gamified training, fast software cycles, and modular drone design are critical to staying ahead. Dan and Florian also explore ESG constraints in Europe, the ethics of AI on the battlefield, and how Western nations can compete with China’s rapidly evolving drone programs. A brutally honest look at what it takes to innovate when the stakes are highest.Timestamps:1:53 – The Importance of Training and Software in Drone Operations3:47 – The Vision for Stark and the Challenges of Dual-Use Companies7:55 – Changes in European Discussions on Drones and Loitering Munitions10:13 – The Role of Autonomous Systems in Future Conflicts13:10 – The Impact of Ukraine's Independence on Drone Technology15:36 – The Balance Between Price and Performance in Drone Systems17:44 – Advice for DOD and Military Officials on Autonomous Systems Procurement19:26 – The Challenges of Getting on the Blue UAS List20:41 – Connecting with Florian Seibel and Quantum Systems🎙️ Guest: Florian Seibel, CEO of Quantum Systems (https://www.linkedin.com/in/florian-seibel-8a78b99b/)🎙️ Host: Dan Magy, CEO of Firestorm#DroneWarfare #AutonomousSystems #LoiteringMunition #StarkDrones #MilitaryAI #DefenseTech #FPV #QuantumSystemsAbout Drone Wars Firestorm Studios brings you The Drone Wars Podcast, a show that explores all facets of autonomous systems - ground, air, and sea - and their transformative impact on various aspects of human life, from agriculture to warfare.
