I may work in #natsec, but I know that America’s most determined adversary is right here at home. Present at the founding and persistent for centuries, systemic racism has visited destruction and destitution upon countless Americans. @NatSecDiver #BlackNatSec #BlackVoices (1/8)

@Dails08 @WarOnTheRocks For when the I&W lights start flashing red!

[Dave Zikusoka @daveziggy]

My latest piece is up on @WarOnTheRocks !

[War on the Rocks @WarOnTheRocks]

If the Air Force cannot protect its short-range aircraft and the bases they operate from, it will need to look elsewhere if it is to apply combat power to the problem of sinking ships in the Taiwan Strait. https://t.co/jiFGX9jEXS

[Dave Zikusoka @daveziggy]

My latest piece for New America looks at the role of software on the battlefield. Check it out!

[Future Frontlines @NewFrontlines]

In his latest, @daveziggy explains how #Ukraine created an "Uber for artillery" app that coordinates fires across the battlefield.

It's part of Ukraine's "startup army," which compensates for Russia's firepower advantage with tech innovation.

I'm honored to have my first piece up on @NewAmerica 's @NewFrontlines !

[Future Frontlines @NewFrontlines]

Despite lacking its own space launch program, #Ukraine has put together a high-impact satellite spy program from commercial providers.

@daveziggy explains why tech and open source intelligence is redefining what we mean when we talk about frontlines.

Clouds are in the forecast for exoplanet WASP-96 b! ☁️

Webb spotted the unambiguous signature of water, indications of haze & evidence for clouds (once thought not to exist there)! This is the most detailed exoplanet spectrum to date: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B #UnfoldTheUniverse

@WoodlinBurdell @noahgittell M. Night is talking about blowback. He's asking us, "is the Red Alert just a bogeyman of our own making?" It's brilliant stuff.

@thetimellis Awesome!

[Dave Zikusoka @daveziggy]

It was an absolute honor to play a small part in this. If we want to compete and prevail, we need *all* of our players on the field. When the @DeptofDefense looks more like the nation it defends, we are stronger and more secure.

Our diversity is our strength. That’s why we’re proud to announce that the @usairforce will create the first University-Affiliated Research Center housed at a #HBCU. The @deptofdefense & USAF will contribute $60m over 5yrs to fund students & faculty doing cutting-edge research.
