Aggressive missile threats from U.S. adversaries are reshaping conflict on the global stage, prompting a generational push by the Pentagon to futuristically modernize America’s missile defense capabilities. National Security Editor Guy Taylor sits down with Mike “Woody” Woodhouse, a retired U.S. Army officer turned Vice President of Space, Missile & Air Defense at Leonardo DRS, a world-class defense technology company at the center of the fast-evolving world of missile defense. Mr. Woodhouse draws on experience with Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Aerial Defense (THAAD) systems, as well as his past work on warfighter integration at the Space Development Agency to explain the changing threat environment. He then takes us inside Leonardo DRS’ expanding operation in Huntsville, Alabama, for a look at how the company is accelerating innovation to deliver technologies ahead of the threat. This project was sponsored by Leonardo DRS.
