About this episode

Chris Naganuma discusses the evolution of drone warfare and its implications for global security based on his frontline experiences in Ukraine.

This episode features an interview with Chris Naganuma , the Mission Solutions Manager at Reveal Technology and a war zone advisor for Project Leaflet. Drawing from five years of hands-on experience rotating on the ground in Ukraine, Naganuma discusses the rapid evolution of drone warfare, its implications for global security, and the intense technological arms race happening in modern conflict zones. Rather than analyzing the war from afar, Naganuma works directly alongside frontline drone teams in active combat to stress-test emerging tech, ensuring that critical data on what succeeds and what fails goes straight back to the developers and operators. At Reveal, he helps deploy cutting-edge tools like "Farsight," a program that transforms standard drone video into offline, 3D battlefield maps accessible directly on a smartphone. Additionally, he leads BattleLab, a Reveal Technology initiative focused on updating tactical strategies and testing defensive military technology with Western troops in real-world scenarios.
