Firestorm Labs, Inc.

On the first episode of Season 17, we are talking about one of the toughest challenges facing modern military operations, sustaining capability at the edge when supply lines are slow, contested, or unavailable.

The guest on this episode is Chad McCoy, co-founder and chief growth officer of Firestorm Labs, which is a company that's been making headlines over the last year.

You might have seen them in some mainstream articles.

Chad brings a unique perspective to this discussion, having served as a special operations forces operator and retired as a chief master sergeant from the US Air Force's elite 24th Special Tactics Squadron.

Throughout his military career, he worked with emerging weapons systems, unmanned aircraft technologies and defense innovation, including leading munitions research efforts at the Air Force Research Laboratory's Doolittle Institute.

Today, Chad is helping reshape how military units build, sustain and adapt critical systems in the field.

Through Firestorm Labs' EXSELE platform and industrial-grade manufacturing capability that can be deployed inside a standard shipping container, it gives operators the ability to produce, repair and modify unmanned systems at the point of need.

So here's our interview with Chad McCoy, co-founder and chief growth officer at Firestorm Labs.
