IQT Explains: The Importance of an Agile Arsenal, Part 1
Welcome to the IQT Podcast. In this episode, Clayton Williams from IQT speaks with Lorenz Meier, co-founder and CEO of Auterion, and Rob Rainhart, Auterion’s Chief Operating Officer. They explore the remarkable evolution of autonomous systems and drone technology—an area that’s rapidly reshaping the future of defense. Lorenz and Rob share the story of how Auterion grew from open-source student project into a powerhouse in drone autonomy and offer a unique perspective on how the company has bridged commercial innovation and defense applications, navigating a fast-changing market and shifting global demands.
Watch as they unpack the challenges of operating in a dual-use tech space, the regulatory forces at play, and how conflicts like the war in Ukraine have driven urgency and innovation in the drone ecosystem. Whether you’re tracking the future of autonomy or curious about the intersection of startups and defense, this conversation offers an inside look at how Auterion is helping shape what’s next.
