Firms Think Twice Before Investing in DoD

摘要

The United States has the most technologically advanced military force. But Pentagon officials worry that the innovation gap is rapidly narrowing. Adversaries learn quickly. Just like they managed to defeat U.S. armored vehicles in recent wars with relatively unsophisticated buried bombs, they will find other means to counter American technology. Pentagon strategists predict enemies will use nontraditional weapons such as satellite jamming and computer viruses to disable U.S. military hardware. The Pentagon needs to get creative as it plans the weapons of the future, officials have said, and it needs private-sector help.
