ODIA Defense Briefing - Innovating Under Fire w/ Lt Gen (Ret.) John "Soup" Campbell & Alec Bierbauer (former CIA Officer)

January 20, 2025 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM (CST)

Description

Innovating Under Fire: The Armed Predator Drone
Inside the Revolution That Changed Modern Warfare Forever.

For the first time, Lt Gen (Ret.) John "Soup" Campbell and Alec Bierbauer (former CIA Officer) take the stage together to present a behind-the-scenes look at the development of one of the most transformative innovations in modern defense: the armed Predator drone program.

Drawing from their book, "Never Mind, We’ll Do It Ourselves", this event brings you the untold story of how visionary minds from the Air Force and CIA overcame immense challenges to create a pivotal piece of global air power. Through a blend of candid storytelling and exclusive, never-before-seen photographs, the speakers will take attendees into secret hangars, back offices, and even the CIA Counter Terrorism Center on the morning of 9/11.

This exclusive ODIA Defense Briefing offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the collaboration—and occasional conflict—between defense and intelligence communities that fueled the Predator revolution. Don’t miss this rare event with two trailblazing leaders!

ABOUT THE BOOK

'“Never Mind, We’ll Do It Ourselves” is the character-driven story behind the origins of the Predator drone program and the dawn of unmanned warfare. A firsthand account told by an Air Force team leader and a CIA team leader, “Never Mind, We’ll Do It Ourselves” takes the reader into the back offices and secret government hangars where the robotic revolution went from a mad scientist idea to a pivotal part of global air power.

The story will reveal the often-conflicting perspectives between the defense and intelligence communities and put you inside places like the CIA’s counterterrorism center on the morning of 9/11. Through the eyes of the men and women who lived it, you will experience the hunt for Osama Bin Laden and the evolution of a program from passive surveillance to the complex hunter-killers that hang above the battlespace like ghosts. Poised at the junction between “The Right Stuff” and “The Bourne Identity,” “Never Mind, We’ll Do It Ourselves” will document the way a group of cowboys, rogues, and bandits broke rules and defied convention to change the shape of modern warfare."
