Air Superiority in the Age of Autonomy
Air Superiority in the Age of Autonomy
From stealth drones to AI-driven mission systems, the air domain is rapidly evolving into the ultimate testbed for defense innovation. What was once the exclusive realm of elite pilots is now shared with intelligent machines capable of executing missions at the speed of code.
In this special DeepTech Week session, hosted by Protego Ventures and Amit, Pollak, Matalon & Co., join a rare and dynamic conversation between Maj. Gen. (Res.) Tal Kelman, former Head of Strategy for the Israeli Air Force, and Matteo Shapira, Co-Founder & CXO of XTEND and two-time Emmy-winning innovator behind the world’s first volumetric video technology and XTEND’s human-guided autonomous systems.
Together, they’ll explore how AI, robotics, and human experience converge in the modern battlespace, from developing intuitive control systems that let operators “teleport” through drones, to reimagining the human-machine interface in combat. The discussion will dive into the shifting balance between autonomy and control, the strategic edge of next-generation air power, and how defense innovation is redefining deterrence in an increasingly contested sky.
