Welcome to the IQT Podcast. In this episode of "IQT Explains," we explore asymmetric deterrence — a strategic approach in modern defense that emphasizes quantity, innovation, and resilience over traditional firepower, led by our host, Kevin Schaeffer.

Joining him are Kevin Wepasnick, a senior technology architect and drone systems enthusiast, and Sameer Punyani, a national security expert with extensive experience at the Department of Defense (DoD).
