While Steve Blank might be best known for his ultra-popular Lean Startup methodology that has inspired a generation of American entrepreneurs, he's spent much of the past decade working to infuse that thought leadership in the defense innovation ecosystem, largely at the academic level. Through his work as a founding faculty of Stanford University's Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation and the school's Hacking for Defense program, Blank is helping shape a new class of startups dedicated to defense-aligned missions. And most recently, he launched a PEO Directory that he refers to as "a phonebook for the Pentagon" that's meant to make it easier for those founders to do business with the Department of Defense. The legendary Blank joins CTRL + ALT + DEFENSE for a wide-ranging discussion about the state of defense innovation, why budding entrepreneurs are turning to defense problem sets at greater rates, and how startups can navigate the bureaucracy of the Pentagon amid a variety of Trump administration reforms.

Steve Blank: The Playbook for Defense Innovation, from the Classroom to the War Room

The Department of Homeland Security’s non-federal government partners in communities across the U.S. can now apply for funding grants for certain counter-drone capabilities to address national security and safety threats posed by the illegal and nefarious use of unmanned aircraft systems. Officials wrote in a notice published online last week: “The funding enables state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, along with first responders and public safety entities, to acquire detection and tracking technologies designed to safeguard public spaces and critical infrastructure.” DHS estimates that $250 million will be obligated for the program in fiscal 2026 alone, and more money is expected to flow. Decisions about individual awards will happen between 30 and 60 days of the application submissions. The department expects to make 12 awards, with the financial assistance amounts to-be-decided and ranging across the winners. All projects will have a performance period of 36 months. Notably, the awardees will not be permitted to use the federal funding to purchase “Enhanced Detect, Track, Identification (DTI) systems,” including those that “capture, record, intercept, demodulate, decrypt, or decode signals” between UAS and ground control stations. Due to significant legal restrictions, privacy concerns and federal airspace regulations, SLTT entities don’t currently have official authorization to employ those types of technologies. Drone threats associated with surveillance, disruption, or attacks, have intensified across the nation in recent years. The U.S. military is significantly expanding work and investments to deploy defensive weapons, modernize electronic warfare capabilities, enhance sensor protection and other tools to protect its facilities in the United States and abroad. And with America hosting major, upcoming global events, agencies and officials have been calling for coordinated efforts to more aggressively confront the risks.

Anduril’s prototype drone developed for the Air Force’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program has taken its first live flight, the service announced Friday. The company conducted the flight of the unmanned fighter jet — known as the YFQ-44A — on Friday at a test location in California, the Air Force said in a press release. Beginning live flight tests of the CCA prototype “expands the program’s knowledge base on flight performance, autonomous behaviors and mission systems integration,” the service noted. The announcement that Anduril has moved into the flight test stage comes after General Atomics conducted the first flight of its CCA offering in August. Both companies are vying for Increment 1 of the CCA program, which is part of the Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) family of systems. General Atomics and Anduril received contracts for the first CCA increment in 2024, while the Air Force is also working with Shield AI and RTX to provide the drone’s mission autonomy. With both airframe vendors now in the next stage of the program, the Air Force is one step closer to making a final production decision for Increment 1 — expected in 2026.

There’s no point in playing games. We both know things gotta change.
We both know, but still we fight. Holding on tight to what we once believed in.
So we cling to what we knew. We can’t reconcile the new.
Off with the nose to spite the face. We need space; nobody knows quite what to do.
There are so many questions, and the best ones go unasked.
It’s not a matter of winning, just an opinion, no one has facts.
Every day it gets clearer; we’re not up to the task.

So, to pass the time, we try. Can we still see eye to eye?
Can we still pretend to know how the story goes, or is it still in edit?
Have we slowly gotten by? Have we slowly lived to die?
Is the song already sung, the bell been rung, Is this the end we feared would be?
There are so many questions, and the best ones go unasked.
It’s not a matter of winning, just an opinion, no one has facts.
Every day it gets clearer; we’re not up to the task.

In the end we’ll realize, love’s not measured in tries.
Love is measured in ‘does’ – our love once was, but now it has no answers.
What’s the message we send? Nothing breaks until it bends.
Nothing bends unless you push. You know I would – if I just knew that you’d push back.
There are so many questions, and the best ones go unasked.
It’s not a matter of winning, just an opinion, no one has facts.
Every day it gets clearer; we’re not up to the task.
So we’re stuck in a vicious circle, no one’s pushing back.
Still we’re stuck in that vicious circle, no one’s pushing back.

11 20 2025  Pastor Paul Interview - Michael - Portals - Global Updates

A heartfelt, sing-along anthem honoring the Lone Soldier who leaves home, crosses oceans, and finds a new family in Israel. Mixing English storytelling with Hebrew phrases like “יאללה!” and “אח שלי, אני פה איתך,” the song blends warm acoustic folk and uplifting pop energy. It celebrates courage, sacrifice, and the deep brotherhood and sisterhood found in the IDF—reminding us that even without family nearby, a soldier can find a home in the hearts of those who stand beside them.
