This episode of Intelligence Optimised Podcasts drills into a concept that’s moving from science fiction to strategic planning: wireless energy transmission. Todd Crowley explores how this capability - once imagined in labs - is now shaping real-world logistics, particularly in Indo-Pacific defence and humanitarian operations.
Billy Jeremijenko, founder of Aquila discusses using directed energy (think lasers) to move power without wires or fuel convoys. The conversation cuts through the technical novelty to focus on practical implications: how this technology could protect supply chains, extend operational reach, and reduce logistical vulnerabilities in austere environments.
This episode covers:
✔️ Wireless energy tech that powers drones and off-grid infrastructure
✔️ Global energy inequality and stalled grid expansion
✔️ “Internet of energy” vs. rising disconnection from power systems
✔️ Stratospheric relays for long-distance, secure energy transmission
✔️ Defence, mining, and disaster response use cases for remote power
✔️ How laser-to-solar systems enable practical, mobile energy delivery
Whether you're coordinating supply chains in contested zones or advising on critical infrastructure upgrades, this episode offers a window into how energy delivery itself is being reimagined.
