Dr. Hans C. Mumm, Future of Cyber Security & Emerging Tech, New Paradigms w/Sargis Sangari EP 220

On Monday, December 23, 2024, in episode 220 of New Paradigms w/Sargis Sangari, Dr. Hans C. Mumm, NEC-SE Director for Emerging & Disruptive Technologies & former Division Chief for Cyber Security at The Office of The Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), and I discuss why are we not prepared for Drones and how will this problem drive the future of U.S. Cyber Security & emerging & disruptive Technologies.

More than a month has passed since mysterious drones began appearing over New Jersey. Since then, the FAA has banned drones in South Jersey towns, citing security reasons. Alleged drone sightings have been up 74%, while New Jersey Senate leaders have pushed the federal government for resources to address unidentified drones.

Dr. Mumm has notable experience in research and systems engineering, including winning awards and contracts for UAV research and creating an advanced multiple-fuel system (AI-based) where he operated the world’s first and only helicopter that flies on five separate fuels without engine modifications. His research extends into emerging and disruptive technology for offensive and defensive missions supporting U.S. and coalition operations. His UAV and robotics expertise has focused on determining the specific uses, exceptions, and allowances for robotics operations, including studying the unintended consequences, future use, and misuse of such technologies.

Join us in this critical discussion as we near New Year's Eve and the 2025 inauguration focused on potential solutions for introduction and protection against drones and possible security gaps in our national defenses the drone issues and topics have exposed.
