Rise of the Drones | Rich LaMonica

In this episode, we sit down with Rich LaMonica, host of The Misfit Nation Podcast and an Army veteran with extensive experience in drone and counter-drone operations. 

Drawing on his current work training U.S. military personnel, Rich shares his insights into how drones have revolutionized the battlefield, from reconnaissance to precision strikes, and their evolving role in military strategy.

We also delve into the use of drones beyond the military. Rich highlights their growing applications in law enforcement, including surveillance and emergency response, as well as the dark side: how criminals and terrorists exploit drones for illicit activities. The discussion provides a sobering look at the challenges posed by these technologies in both urban and rural settings.

Finally, we explore practical considerations for security-minded civilians. Whether for personal protection, property surveillance, or countering potential threats, Rich offers advice on understanding drone technology, staying ahead of its misuse, and maintaining safety in an increasingly drone-saturated world.
