Emil’s team is moving at unprecedented speed to deliver new advanced capabilities to the war fighter, as reflected in his engagement with hundreds of industry partners during his first nine months as undersecretary.”

In 1942, at the height of British industrial war mobilization, an unlikely cohort scavenged the nation’s coastline for a precious substance.
