The Horizon Audiofiles - Ep 047 - Additive Manufacturing A Key Enabler Of Low Cost Modern Warfare

A need for low-cost warfare has emerged from the experiences of
several nations in current conflicts. On the one hand, a recent
missile and drone attack on Israel was successfully defeated, but
at the unsustainable cost of an estimated $1-1.5 billion. Houthi
drones, costing $2000 each, were successfully intercepted with
Standard Missile-2s (SM-2), which cost $2 million each. On the
other hand, the Russian Black Sea fleet was severely degraded by
sea drones costing between $250 and $ 350,000 each. There are two
consequences deriving from this: There is an urgent need for
low-cost systems both in defence (to counter the Houthi-type
attacks, for example) and offence (to engage in sea control or
with combat drones as an artillery substitute).
