On this episode of WMD I again hand off the microphones to two of my cybersecurity students, Devin Marks and Colin Harris who explore the intersection of 5G and robotic technology on the battlefield. The will explore both the applications of the technology ask ethical questions about the use of unmanned technology as it becomes more and more routine to use it in war.
