Portfolio Spotlight: Mutable Tactics

In this Portfolio Spotlight episode, host Leah Martin speaks with Colin MacLeod, CEO of Mutable Tactics, and Seraphim Space Principal Maureen Haverty about the future of human–machine teaming. Mutable Tactics is building the AI “brain” that lets one operator control and coordinate entire fleets of drones, turning them from individually piloted systems into a coordinated team that can execute missions even in complex, communications-denied environments. They explore why human attention is now the biggest bottleneck in robotics, what’s changed to make this technology possible, and how scalable autonomy is set to reshape defence and beyond.
