The concept of network swarms, particularly in the context of modern conflict and security, represents a fascinating and somewhat disorientating evolution in the dynamics of warfare and strategic operations. The implications of swarm intelligence also extend beyond these immediate scenarios in technology and defense. They challenge our traditional notions of intelligence, control, and organization, suggesting that in certain contexts, decentralized and distributed approaches can outperform centralized and hierarchical ones. Find our analysis here.  OODA LLC John Robb #droneswarms #swarmintelligence #networkswarms #foresightstrategy #scenarioplanning https://lnkd.in/eUAt8nx5

Fully agree with my colleague Dr. Markus Federle, cofounder at Tholus Capital, “Superior military technology is the most credible deterrent to war. For this deterrence to be efficient, dual-use technologies as well as defensive and offensive capabilities are required." Apart from any kind of moral question about ESG or not, dual-use technologies are simply a built-in feature of VC backed investments. Otherwise it's difficult for startups to achieve scale required to deliver VC returns. So dual-use plays a clear role in co-opting technologies into defense that can achieve scale in a market larger than just defense, and therefore drive down costs for defense-specific applications and accelerate innovation. At the same time, this is not a trade-off decision. We need dual-use for its part, and we will still need a certain number of advanced platforms and technology that only the military can use. I'm supporting Tholus Capital because of our commitment to deploy capital across the entire spectrum. #defensetech #defenseinnovation Ajax Defense

"First the Truth. Then the dream." This became the refrain of a major political alliance ("Truthers") rebelling against the incumbent presidency (of the "Dreamers") in the dystopian novel 2054. And for what it's worth, the novel is very much as pithy as the refrain when it comes to illustrating the most pressing geopolitical issues facing our world today in the guise of fiction. In this second installment of a trilogy, the world grapples with the race and consequences of the Singularity, a hypothetical point in future - in this case 2054 - where technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible. What form could the Singularity take? What are the technologies that contribute to the Singularity? Is the Singularity universally desirable across all nation states? I would recommend this (and the first book in the series, 2034 for a deeper dive into cybersecurity and nuclear fallout) to anyone who would like plausible answers to these questions. Or perhaps just a nice weekend read. https://lnkd.in/gKT39ppp

Sifted spoke to us about defense investing and the categorization of dual-use vs. defensive vs. offensive. In our view the discussion around “dual-use” is unhelpful and does not align with the ethical standards by which it is motivated. At Tholus Capital we believe that superior military technology is the most credible deterrent to war. For this deterrence to be efficient, dual-use technologies as well as defensive and offensive capabilities are required. We therefore invest across the full spectrum of these categories. In line with the requirements of some of our investors we do, however, offer distinct investment strategies that are limited to “dual-use” technologies or defensive weapons.   We are currently witnessing a discussion and review of applicable investment limitations and ESG standards across institutional investors. Given the current threats, we believe that it is also likely that regulators will weigh into the debate to clarify that investment in defense can in fact be ESG compliant. We therefore expect that we will see many investors change their attitudes towards defense technology and innovation in the not so distant future.   Thanks to Anne Sraders at Sifted for attending our #DefenceInnovationNight and for contributing to this important debate.
