On Saturday, U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) participated in a panel discussion at the Reagan National Defense Forum. The event is an annual gathering of national security leaders and stakeholders.
The focus of the panel was on modernizing the nation's defense capabilities.

He also gave a preview of upcoming findings and recommendations from the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology, where he serves as Chair.
Joining Young on the panel were General David W. Allvin, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force; Joe Lonsdale, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at 8VC; Heidi Shyu, U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering; and Toni Townes-Whitley, CEO of SAIC.
