SPC Premium: America's "New Arms Race"
And with its largest contract ever, this tiny company is challenging industry giants ...
If you want a “checklist” of the storylines that are driving the New Cold War, it’s going to look something like this:
Drones — Self-piloting vehicles that fly through the air, move along the ground, sail atop the waves or navigate the oceans’ depths.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) — The hottest story of the last two years … and the hottest story of the last few days.
Cyber Tech (Offense and Defense) — One differentiator from the first Cold War is that we’ve added two new “battlegrounds” — cyberspace … and outer space. In cyberwarfare, “digital” weapons take the place of bullets, artillery shells, missiles and bombs, making computer systems or so-called “critical infrastructure” like power grids or water systems the targets. And what can be targeted must also be protected, meaning offense and defense are both part of this realm.
Space-Based Weapons — Anti-satellite weapons, new surveillance technologies and new “delivery systems” are the story here. Which leads to the next storyline …
Hypersonics — Here we’re talking about missiles and warheads that can travel at speeds greater than Mach 5. There are scramjet-powered “cruise missiles,” new types of aircraft (manned and unmanned) and something called a “hypersonic glide vehicle” (HGV), in essence, a super-maneuverable warhead that renders current interceptor systems obsolete.
A2/AD — That’s not a robot from the Star Wars series; it’s an acronym that stands for “Anti-Access/Area Denial — in essence, strategies and technologies that limit (or prohibit) your enemy’s ability to operate where you don’t want them to.
And Directed-Energy Weapons (DEWs) — Weapons systems that (instead of projectiles) use concentrated bursts of laser, microwave or particle-beam energy to disrupt, damage or destroy drones, missiles, satellites, radar systems, power grids or communications networks.
There you have it: Seven New Cold War storylines. And this SPC Premium stock — which has already zoomed — is a player in almost all of them.
