Welcome to the DEFAERO Andy Marshall Strategy Series, our discussion with leading thinkers on security, business and technology. Our guest Adm. Sir George Zambellas, RN Ret., the former Royal Navy First Sea Lord, discusses the future of warfare, the role of AI, big data and autonomy, driving innovation and more with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian.
Zambellas began his 36 year Naval career as a helicopter pilot; embarked in frigates and carriers, before a series of sea commands, culminating in the command of the UK Amphibious Force, the UK Maritime Force, NATO 4* Maritime Command and the Fleet. He completed a three year appointment as First Sea Lord in April 2016. Since leaving active service, Zambellas has worked extensively with emerging technologies including Cyber-security and Artificial Intelligence (AI). He is chairman of praXec Limited, founder and chairman of CobWeb Cyber Security and a strategic advisor to Liquid Robotics Inc, among numerous other business interests.
This conversation is part of a series on strategists and strategy devoted to the memory of one of the nation’s greatest national security strategists, Andy Marshall, the former director of the Pentagon’s office of net assessment and sponsored by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems.
