For each episode we pick a current deterrence topic and have a cordial, exciting and sometimes funny discussion. Each episode is a stand-alone topical and is expected to increase awareness of deterrence thinking, expand the next generation of deterrence professionals, and prepare the workforce whose mission is to ensure peace, security, and stability.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-01T14:21:25.580589+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-nids-view-5887633"},"episode":{"title":"170 - Drones Over the Fence: Securing America's Nuclear Deterrent from Surveillance or Sabotage","slug":"170-drones-over-the-fence-securing-america-s-nuclear-deterrent-from-surveillance-or-sabotage","published_at":"2026-04-08T04:11:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-nids-view-5887633/170-drones-over-the-fence-securing-america-s-nuclear-deterrent-from-surveillance-or-sabotage","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-nids-view-5887633","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/nuclearview/2683309","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/171915/2683309/nuclearview/2026_04_02_14_11_15_296d4174-12c7-492d-b7c4-98cd6e86f86e.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Jim and Curtis break down the rising threat of unauthorized drone activity near U.S. military bases—spotlighting recent incidents at Barksdale Air Force Base. As drone technology and access rapidly evolve, new vulnerabilities are emerging across critical defense infrastructure. They explore how drones enable persistent surveillance, reconnaissance, and even potential weaponization—and what that means for America's nuclear deterrence credibility and national security. The conversation also dives into current policies, legislative efforts, and the latest counter-drone technologies, highlighting the need for layered defenses and stronger coordination across federal and state agencies. Looking ahead, the hosts examine future challenges—from kinetic damage to EMP-related defenses—and make the case for the importance of public awareness and interagency cooperation in protecting U.S. installations.
