Small drones are no longer just tools... they're transforming the very nature of warfare. Retired Major General Frank Muth joins Mission Critical to explain why the battlefield of tomorrow is already here, and how Deltawerx Aerospace is building drones designed for it.

Frank shares the mission of Deltawerx Aerospace; building ultra-compact drones with changeable payloads that deploy in seconds. With over 200 patents and a product the size of a deck of cards, Deltawerx is answering the Army's call to arm every warfighter with their own drone—now, not five years from now.

If you work in defense, aerospace, or adjacent technologies, this conversation offers a frontline view of how unmanned systems, AI, and rapid deployment platforms are shifting warfare's center of gravity. Whether you're an operator, strategist, recruiter or policymaker, the implications are massive.

You'll learn:

· Why every war fighter may soon carry their own drone

· How expendable, pocket-sized UAVs are reshaping strategy

· Why U.S. policy must accelerate to keep pace with adversaries

· How drone tech is rewriting the economic and psychological calculus of war

· The leadership mindset needed to navigate this moment of military transformation
