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.

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.
