Finland-based startup Donut Defence is developing a donut-shaped in-wheel electric motor for air, land and sea military vehicles. In December 2024, Donut Defence was selected to participate in the DEFINE Accelerator program that connects technology companies that are developing and scaling defense, security and dual-use technologies. Michael Waksman, CEO of Donut Defence, is the guest on this episode of the Aerospace & Defense Technology Podcast to explain how the Donut Motor could provide the type of architecture and performance necessary to power next generation military electric vehicles. The podcast is now in its eighth season, running during the month of April with a focus on the future of military electric vehicles. This episode is sponsored by New England Wire Technologies.
