Homeland Security & Defense Forum

Welcome to “HSDF THE PODCAST,” a collection of policy discussions on government technology and homeland security brought to you by the Homeland Security and Defense Forum

 Speed decides who stays safe. We pull back the curtain on how America can out-iterate fast-moving threats at the border and beyond, connecting acquisition reform, AI-first systems, and operator needs to real-world outcomes. From the National Defense Authorization Act to the Safer Skies authority push, we lay out how procurement must shift from slow “programs of record” to agile “characteristics of need” that deliver capability when it matters.

 This discussion took place December 12, 2025 at 8th Annual Homeland Security & Defense Forum Border Security Symposium
