During their conversation, Franco Gussalli Beretta and Vago Muradian discussed a host of issues critical to the future of U.S. national security, including how the U.S. military – and its contractors – can spur and implement greater innovation across all facets of its operations; specific technologies and processes the DOD and contractors alike should be using to create better prototypes, final products, and better equip U.S. warfighters; the weaponry and tactical equipment that U.S. soldiers need to win on the modern, expeditionary battlefield; and the advantages of General Dynamics-OTS and Beretta’s joint entry for the Next Generation Squad Weapons project.

“It was a true pleasure to join Vago on the podcast,” said Franco Gussalli Beretta. “Beretta has served the U.S. military for nearly 35 years, and we are proud of the U.S.-based operations we have built, employing cutting edge technology and nearly 600 people. It was great to share with Vago and his listeners our approach to innovation and our commitment to supporting the U.S. military’s vital mission with both next-generation firearms and with electro-optics, where the Beretta Group has developed industry-leading products and know-how.”
