Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Ret. Gen. CQ Brown Jr. has joined drone tech company Powerus as an executive-in-residence and senior adviser. He will focus on defense strategy and autonomous systems deployment. Powerus, partially owned by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., is merging with Aureus Greenway Holdings and aims to lead in AI-enabled autonomy. Brown emphasized the importance of technological advancement in defense. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended Trump's decision to fire Brown last year, stating he was not suitable for the role.
