Summary: From war to acidity levels, our oceans are in danger. Find out how Juliet Marine System's Ghost can keep our shorelines safe for a fraction of our current military spending. Then, learn how XPRIZE is on a mission to kick start our oceans. Segment 1: Distributed Lethality The problem with our Navy these days is that all the value and lives are concentrated in one spot, like with our aircraft carriers. Avalon Ventures Founder, Kevin Kinsella, explains the rising idea of "distributed lethality" and how that factors into his firm's decision to invest in Juliet Marine Systems' GHOST, a reconfigurable, high-speed sea vessel. Segment 2: Autonomous Ghost Autonomous vehicles and drones have been a significant part of the military industrial complex for the better part of a decade. Will the Juliet Marine Systems' GHOST sea vessel go autonomous? Kevin Kinsella contemplates future development possibilities for the stealth craft. Segment 3: Entrepreneurial Research The defense sector has been lacking in entrepreneurial spirit for many years. Kevin Kinsella calls out DARPA and other military researchers: buy privately sourced R&D in lieu of superfluous military spending.
