In this week's special two-part episode, Conflict in Focus: Air and Space Domain Part One, Colonel Matthew Slusher, U.S. Air Force fellow, sat down with Austin Gray, former U.S. Navy Intelligence Officer and co-founder of Blue Water Autonomy, and Major General Gregory Gagnon, Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Intelligence, U.S. Space Force, to discuss the impact of autonomous vehicles in warfare and the evolving role of space in modern conflict.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict shocked the world—unfolding a story of strategy, resilience, innovation, and global implications. With battles fought on the ground, in the skies, on the seas, and in cyberspace—this conflict has reshaped modern warfare. Conflict in Focus: Lessons from Russia-Ukraine is a limited series that delves into the hard-earned lessons from this war—pre-conflict strategies, battlefield adaptations, and their lasting impact. Each episode, a CSIS military fellow sits down with special guests, who have firsthand experience and deep expertise, to focus on a vital domain. Their perspectives on air, maritime, land, space, cyber, go beyond the frontlines, shaping the future of warfare.
This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
