The defense of America will not be able to keep his pear opponents as if The Pentagon Continue for years to innovate his weapon systems, his experts agreed on a security stop last week.
The modernization of the Pentagon received a “D” this week by the National Security Innovation Base Summit, an near-failing letter figure that leaders of national security in the congress Agreed was a fair assessment.
“The progress lives in the private sector, and we don’t see enough progress in the public sector,” said Govini CEO Tara Dougherty. “The department needs a huge staircase in the pants in this area and must be held responsible for catching up in order to agree with what is happening under the investor community and under the technology sector.”
“I think the score is unfortunately a deserved score,” said Vice chairman Rob Wittman of House Armed Services.

“The Pentagon is the Ford Motor Company of the 1950s. I mean, they are the way they operate, slowly, stoically,” Wittman explained. “Let’s spend years to write a requirement, let’s spend years spending years to go to a program or record, let’s spend years to acquire.” By the time we acquire something, guess?
“We want them to reflect the Apple 2025 model.”
Nowhere is this clearer for defenders than in the shipbuilding options of the country. The Navy currently has 295 ships deployable, although the shipbuilding plan requires to increase that number to 390 in 2054.

“It is low quickly. We cannot reach where we should now be in the Pacific if necessary,” Wittman told Fox News Digital.
The issue seems to be president Donald Trump Wake up at night.
“China is specifically better in cyber security than we are.” -Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-PA.
John Phelan, the nominee of Trump for Navy Secretary, joked during his confirmation hearing that the president texts him late in the evening, “sometimes after 1 hour” about “Rusty ships or ships in a garden and asks me, what am I doing?”
Phelan added that he told the president: “I have not yet been confirmed and I have not been able to do anything about it, but I will be very focused on it.”

“We used to make so many ships,” Trump complained to a joint congress on Tuesday during a speech. “We don’t make them much anymore, but we will make them very quickly very quickly. It will have a huge impact.”
He announced that he had founded an office of the White House.
With the Pentagon: “It is process, process, process, not results,” said Wittman, who announced that he would chair a medodernization caucus in the congress.
“We are currently working on an innovation cycle that, you know, used to be a decade, and it used to be five years old. Then it was three years, and now it is a year or less innovation cycle,” said Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo. “In Ukraine they actually work from a week -long innovation cycles.”
“China eats our lunch with boxes in the energy area, in our mobile phone infrastructure they try to get Wall Street, they try to get into agriculture …”-Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb.
Crow said it is up to the congress to give the Pentagon the “kick in the pants” that it has to move to move faster.
“No question signals are simply sent. So that requires a very real conversation about political will, which is actually two -part about this issue at the moment.”
The Pentagon started working on the F-35 fighter jet 25 years ago and it is “just in the entire production”, Wittman noted.
“The capacity of that aircraft, the modernization it needs to keep track of the Chinese threat, it’s just not where it should be.”

Even the newest F-35s must be reduced to the assembly line to be equipped with 360-degree motion sensors that are known as the digital aperture system and the other latest technology in Radars, Wittman said.
“We are still not going to supply the current jets that come from De Lijn with technical refresh three hardware and have arranged that software until probably next year.”
Under a new Dogememo, the Pentagon has taken a assessment of its contract procedures. “Every desk head, in consultation with the DOG Team Lead of the Bureau, will perform an extensive evaluation of the contract policy, procedures and staff of each agency,” was a memo this week.
Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., Fox News Digital said that she is most concerned that the army is willing to defend herself against a cyber attack.
“China is specifically better in cyber security than we,” she said. “Only one or two raids are needed that we don’t see coming or that we don’t respond to, to make a huge difference here.”
Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., Suggested that the US may have to start thinking about attacking cyber missions.

“When it comes to cyber, we must change the rules of involvement,” he said. “China eats our lunch with box in the energy area, in our mobile phone infrastructure they try to get Wall Street, they try to get into agriculture.”
“We are really good at cyberintelligence, but we have (rules of involvement) who don’t let us do what China or Russia is doing,” he went on. “I don’t think it’s like taking bumps in the face and says:” I can still have one. “
“We must be able to allow cyber command to fight fire with fire. I wouldn’t even advertise that much. Just wear a big stick and get them back.”
