A JDAM for Human Rights

By James Hasik

Major Mariam al Mansouri’s exploits are an unintended benefit of a looser arms export regime.   Arms sales bear a bad reputation for mortgaging global political sensibilities to domestic economic interests. But as a diplomat in Washington reminded me over dinner last week, to have influence, one must be willing to talk. As sociologist Ori […]

Assimilating Disruption, or Offboarding Innovation?

By James Hasik

Big defense contractors’ reactions to start-ups may be more proactive than we suppose.   In a speech at the Air Force Association (AFA) meeting in Maryland last month, Chris Chadwick, CEO of Boeing Defense & Space, spoke of his company’s enthusiasm for incorporating innovative ideas into old products.

Is the Armored Vehicle Industry Shifting Away from the United States?

By James Hasik

Russian threats and US economizing may be driving the business north and east.   Earlier this month, investors’ website the Motley Fool called the recently-announced alliance between France’s Nexter and Germany’s KMW the possible “birth of a European tank-building superpower” and “General Dynamics’ new challenger”. All the same, in a recent essay for the Lexington Institute, Dan Gouré argues that General […]
