May 23, 2024 | Dr. James Patton Rogers discussed the use of military drone systems by Russia, the U.S. and NATO allies to secure and protect their interests in the Arctic—due in part to the presence of the Northern Sea Route (NSR). Dr. Rogers also addressed activity in the Baltic Sea (situated at one end of the NSR) and around the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom Gap. Dr. Rogers is executive director of the Cornell Brooks School Tech Policy Institute and NATO country director of the Full Spectrum Drone Warfare Project.
