The Future of Drone Warfare & Expeditionary Manufacturing | Firestorm × Booz Allen

Affordable mass, autonomy at the edge, and expeditionary manufacturing—this conversation digs into how the U.S. and allies can move faster in a contested logistics environment. Filmed at Firestorm’s Global HQ (San Diego, CA), Booz Allen’s Heather Fortuna Bush sits down with Dan Magy (Co-founder & CEO, Firestorm), Chad McCoy (Co-founder & CSO, Firestorm), and Jennie Brooks (Booz Allen, Navy & Marine Corps) to unpack what’s changing in drone warfare and how edge manufacturing can accelerate readiness. They explore how defense innovation is shifting from “exquisite” systems to affordable, modular capabilities built for speed and scale. Firestorm’s deployable manufacturing technology enables parts and drones to be produced anywhere—democratizing the fight and reducing reliance on traditional supply chains. Their modular, multi-mission drones and mobile 3D-printing units illustrate how autonomy, interoperability, and rapid production can transform readiness. Together, these innovations show how the future of warfare will be defined not just by power, but by agility, access, and accelerated capability.
