Success no longer goes to the country that develops a new fighting technology first, but rather to the one that better integrates it and adapts its way of fighting…Our response will be to prioritize speed of delivery, continuous adaptation and frequent modular upgrades. We must not accept cumbersome approval chains, wasteful applications of resources in uncompetitive space, or overly risk-averse thinking that impedes change.
One of the leading thinkers on innovation in business has reviewed the recently published National Defense Strategy — from which the above quote is taken — and is impressed by what he finds.

What do you get when you combine artificial intelligence, human intelligence experts, behavioral psychology, history, and complexity science? You get something that looks like magic. You get RAVEN, the predictive tool developed by Meraglim for analysts and investors.
In today’s episode, Kevin Massengill, Meraglim’s founder and CEO, argues that the emperor has no clothes: the shell game that is our financial system is on the ropes. To thrive in today’s market, investors need a way to aggregate and distill the available data so that intelligent investment decisions can be made. In today’s episode you’ll learn:

This means that cars and other electric vehicles will have even greater speed potential. (A Tesla is already faster than all other fuel-powered sports cars.) But it gets better than that. This new battery tech will change the electric vehicle and power industry.
Applications are almost unlimited. Power grids, for example, can remain on uninterrupted in the event of a blackout. Upcoming military motorcycles and other electric vehicles can leverage high speeds to tactical advantage. No doubt this new approach to storing and leveraging power will get even more efficient and powerful. We’ll keep an eye out for any supercharged investing opportunities. Learn more here. New “epigenetic” technology will enable U.S. defense and intelligence operatives to know if a person has been involved with WMDs in the near or distant past. Researchers have discovered that our DNA keeps a record of everything we’ve been exposed to and when. Epigenomes register when modifications in DNA within a person occurred DNA doesn’t change over a person’s lifetime, but how it’s “expressed” can.
Yep, it’s complex stuff. The upshot is that with this new tech, our folks can immediately tell if a bad guy’s been involved in WMD creation processes, no matter how long ago. That’s a very big deal. We’ll see what comes of this tech from an investing standpoint. Learn more here. A new technology is emerging that works 24/7 to remove polluting debris from the ocean. “Seabins” float in the water and an electrical, submersible water pump moves an inner basket up above the water's surface and then down below it, which pulls in the water, capturing everything from cigarette butts and food wrappers to oil.
The idea is to have these ocean-borne suckers constantly removing the bad stuff that threatens sea life and, by extension, human beings. Further development of smaller filters for pathogens is underway. A potential defense application might just be removing natural or even man-made pathogens from both coastal waters and freshwater sources. We’ll tread water on this one until viable investing opportunities surface. Learn more here. In body size-lifespan terms, only 19 mammals outlive humans. Eighteen of those are bats. The longest-lived one is the greater mouse-eared bat in France. And no, it’s not about the wine and cheese — it’s all about telomeres. Telomeres are thread-like strands at the end of our chromosomes inside a cell’s nucleus. Every time our cells replicate themselves, the telomeres shorten just a bit. This results in aging… unless you’re a bat.
Researchers have found that bats’ telomeres shorten much less over time. Bats should only live about four years, but many live 30—40 years on a carnivorous diet of beetles, crickets and spiders. Let’s hope that’s not the reason why! One potential military application is the possible extension of active duty for soldiers that age slower, with longer expected lifespans. Lots of opportunity in the near — and distant — future. Learn more here. We’ve talked about anti-drone tech before but thought that because this space is expanding so quickly, it deserved another look. The fact is drone defense is growing as rapidly as the drone tech itself. The good news is that these different anti-drone tools and tech aren’t just for military application. Private businesses, organizations and even private individuals now have access to an array of drone stopping and drone killing tools and weapons. There’s even a 12-gauge anti-drone shotgun shell, although I wouldn’t recommend going there...
No question that some of them won’t be as effective as others. But factors such as costs, legal prohibitions and others will also come into play here. The bottom line is that it’s a rapidly growing market and we’ll keep watch for the best investing opportunities. You can see some of the different anti-drone tech coming onto the market in a variety of ways, but click here to learn more. |
