Rylan Hamilton

When I was in the US Navy 20 plus years ago, we didn't have these asymmetric threats that were threatening some of our most expensive platforms.

Today, Rylan Hamilton is the CEO and co-founder of Blue Water Autonomy, a defense technology and shipbuilding company based just outside of Boston, Massachusetts.

And when he says asymmetric threats, what he means is cheap weapons that can threaten a billion dollar ship.

When I was either on a frigate or amphibious transport ship and we were sailing all around the world, we really weren't that worried about a drone coming and attacking us or anything like that.

So we meet every client where they are, we respect their values, and we customize the portfolios to be very aligned with their values.

Anytime we come up with a new invention or platform, there's always going to be a counter on the other side.

Rylan Hamilton says that with technology moving this fast, it's really hard to predict what things will look like a few decades from now.

One path could be continuous product development over the next 30 years, and we're going to go into massive drone warfare.
