IQT Explains: The Importance of an Agile Arsenal, Part 2
Welcome to the IQT Podcast. In this continuation, host Clayton Williams, Managing Director of IQT’s London office, continues the conversation with Lorenz Meier, Co-founder and CEO of Auterion, and Rob Rainhart, Auterion’s Chief Operating Officer. Building on part one, the conversation examines the significant role of drones in modern warfare and defense technology. Highlighting impressive figures—such as Ukraine increasing monthly drone production from 20,000 to 200,000 units and aiming for millions more—this episode investigates the rapid expansion of drone deployment and the innovations driving it. Lorenz recounts his experiences leading operations in Kyiv and how Auterion’s agile engineering and quick iteration have reshaped battlefield dynamics. Rob discusses the global shift in defense strategies influenced by developments in Ukraine, affecting regions from the U.S. and Europe to Taiwan and the broader Indo-Pacific. For those interested in the progression of AI, drones, and defense technology, this episode offers valuable perspectives on innovation in action.
