Inside the 2026 NDAA is a proposal to create a government-owned production facility for drones. Nadia Schadlow at the Hudson Institute explains why that’s not the best way to make drones at scale and at speed.
This op-ed lays out three steps DoD needs to take to ensure the US has access to the munitions it needs.
As missions stretch farther and comms grow less reliable, predictive software could become the edge that keeps missions afloat.
In this op-ed, Nadia Schadlow calls for an end to the "mind-numbing cycle of far too many studies coming out of the Pentagon and the US government as a whole — with little progress on implementation."
The US has been struggling to keep up with munitions since the war in Ukraine started. In this op-ed, Nadia Schadlow discusses the need for a surge in munitions production for the US, Ukraine and Israel.

Energetic materials — critical chemicals that help determine the range, size, and explosive power of missiles and rockets — are in dangerously short supply for American interests, write Nadia Schadlow and Brady Helwig of the Hudson Institute.
Absolute positioning is critical in contested and denied environments.
