Should an End to Urgency Mean an End to Effectiveness?

By Alex Haber

 In defense acquisitions, privileges reserved for urgent needs should be extended to a broader set of systems.   A sense of urgency can bring out the best in us; the US Defense Department’s acquisitions community is no exception. Once the decision was made, it took just 27 months to develop and deploy fully today’s fleet of Mine-Resistant […]

Robotic overwatch for the Baltic?

By James Hasik

  Unmanned surface vessels could supplement navies in peace and war.   General Sverker Göransson, the Swedish chief of defense, is rather upset that a presumably Russian submarine can waltz into, and then out of, the Stockholm archipelago unchallenged.

News on TTIP | October 14

By James Hasik

Yes, but there are hard ways and easy ways for an army to stand up new capabilities.   The question of coastal artillery was all over the trade press last week, starting with a speech by Defense Secretary Hagel at the AUSA meeting. Hagel noted that for a century after 1812, the US Army protected American ports with a […]

  Jean Tirole’s award in economics reminds us that defense procurement is a deeply challenging business problem.   For me, it’s a great week when a procurement theorist wins a Nobel Prize. Fairly, Jean Tirole of the University of Toulouse won the 2014 Prize in Economic Sciences mostly for his extensive and wide-ranging work in regulatory […]

A blueprint for a comprehensive US counterterrorism strategy in Yemen

By Barbara K. Bodine and Danya Greenfield

A new Atlantic Council issue brief argues that current US counterterrorism efforts in Yemen fail to address deeper structural issues that foment extremism and destabilize Yemen’s central government.
