Encore Episode: Innovation and defense with Colonel Eddie Corrigan

  • Summary

  • Colonel Eddie Corrigan is the Assistant Head of the UK Ministry of Defense's Concepts, Strategy, Force Development, Doctrine, and Lessons Defense Logistics division. With over 33 years of tactical, operational, and strategic experience across many logistics and supply chain activities in the defense and global context, he has delivered logistics effects and outputs – including supply, distribution, movements, information services, and infrastructure – around the world. From 2007 to 2010, Eddie served in the Royal Logistics Corps, where he was responsible for supplying and distributing all supplies to a military force of over 10,000 people and commanding a regiment of 600 people.

    Eddie joins me today to discuss the connection between innovation and defense for national security and military defenses. We discuss how he began working in innovation management and the challenges of creating, developing, and distributing new technologies. We discuss the impact of the Russia/Ukraine conflict on innovation. We discuss the relationship between corporate industries and the military, how it has shifted over the years, and how these collaborative efforts have benefited civilians and the military. We discuss cyber-security, the challenges associated with defending against cyber threats, and the solutions currently available to help defend against cyber attacks. We also discuss the benefits of converting AI capabilities into defense assets and how startup corporations can begin collaborating with the military on creating new, innovative defense technologies.

    “Industry does lead the way – but we are following quite closely.” - Colonel Eddie Corrigan
