?? NEW POD IS LIVE??? Michael LaFramboise, CEO of Aurelius Systems, breaks down how his team is building lightweight, platform-agnostic laser turrets to counter drones at a fraction of the legacy cost. The episode covers directed energy systems, restoring manufacturing to the U.S., navigating DoD sales cycles, and why the vision doesn’t stop at ground vehicles — it goes orbital. Listen now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts — links in the comments.
