A Reporter’s Perspective on the Federal Technology Landscape
Covering the Intersection of Emerging Technology and the Federal Government
When Billy Mitchell and the Scoop News Group team launched DefenseScoop in September 2022, they most likely didn’t imagine spending weeks – including weekends – covering an object that captivated the nation: a balloon.
However, the technology story behind the balloon gets to the heart of DefenseScoop’s focus: the intersection of emerging technology and defense, and the criticality of that technology to the future of warfare.
On Episode 54 of the Tech Transforms podcast, sponsored by Dynatrace, Billy and host Carolyn Ford discuss the frenzy around the balloon, the current state of government and private sector collaboration and innovation, and ways that federal agencies are incentivizing threat hunters to report any vulnerabilities.
Billy and Carolyn dig into the State Department’s new Office of the Special Envoy for Critical and Emerging Technology and the role that office could play in the department’s broader mission. They also talk about the drive for increased collaboration between government and industry, as well as the adoption of industry technologies vs. the government building their own.
Tune into the full episode to hear more of Billy’s insights, including some of the topics that he’s following for DefenseScoop and FedScoop!
