Join Hudson Institute for a conversation with former Senate Armed Services Staff Director Christian Brose on his new book The Kill Chain: Defending America in the Future of High-Tech Warfare.

Christian Brose is chief strategy officer of Anduril Industries and senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He served as staff director of the Senate Armed Services Committee from 2015 to 2018 and senior policy advisor to Senator John McCain from 2009 to 2015.

Moderated by Senior Fellow Bryan Clark, the discussion will focus on the growing threats to U.S. national security from technologically-advanced adversaries, challenges and opportunities of military operations with autonomous systems and artificial intelligence, and how the United States could regain an advantage in the long-term competition with China and other opponents.
