Steve Cassidy on the Future Proofed Podcast: Leveraging AI to Advance Mission Success

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Brent Muller on the Future Proofed Podcast to talk about a topic that’s shaping the future of defense, tech, and tactical readiness—Artificial Intelligence.

As the founder of EOD Gear and a former Navy EOD Tech, I’ve always believed that innovation should serve the mission—not the other way around. On this episode, I break down how we’re using AI at EOD Gear to drive faster prototyping, streamline internal ops, enhance customer experience, and even forecast supply chain issues before they hit.

Brent and I discuss the tools we’re using, how we think about AI integration without losing the human edge, and why small, agile companies in defense and law enforcement supply chains are uniquely positioned to move faster than legacy contractors.

If you're curious how AI isn't just hype but a tactical advantage—this episode is for you.
