  • The Evolution of Warfighting, Deterrence, and Global Security Systems
    Nov 14 2025

    As global power shifts and emerging technologies erode the boundaries between civilian and military domains, the United States faces a historic inflection point. Traditional models of deterrence, once defined by nuclear posture and military might, are being challenged by autonomous systems, contested orbital space, cyber warfare, and the weaponization of critical infrastructure.

    In this episode of The Global Signal, Joshua Charles sits down with Benjamin Njila Fields, a leading thinker at the intersection of defense innovation and strategic policy, to map the future of American deterrence. Together, they explore the rise of dual-use technologies, the evolving role of the private sector in national security, and how the United States must adapt to maintain stability in an increasingly multipolar world.

    This conversation is not about predicting conflict. It is about understanding the systems that prevent it. If you care about the future of American power, technology, and the global order, this is an episode you cannot miss.
