The New Defense Playbook: How Tech is Rewriting Defense Innovation

What happens when Apple engineers and Marine Corps intelligence officers decide the defense industry needs to be completely rebuilt from scratch?

Ken sits down with Andy Baynes, co-founder of Tiberius and veteran of Apple, Google, and Nest, and Matt McKnight, CEO and founder of Perimeter and former Marine Corps intelligence officer, to explore why the West's defense playbook is broken — and how a new generation of tech founders is rewriting it.

In this episode:
- Why Tiberius is shipping 1,000 low-cost missile rounds to Ukraine this year
- How open-architecture, federated weapons manufacturing is the only way to win modern war
- Why biology is the next domain of military operations — and China already knows it
- How Perimeter's bio-threat platform could have detected COVID months before the world knew
- The Defense 3.0 vision: allied nations, shared R&D risk, and private capital at scale

☕ Coffee with Ken is a thought leadership series at the nexus of business, politics, and global defense. Filmed at the London Defense Conference.
