Conglomerates or Alliances?

By James Hasik

  The defense industry may not be headed for another merger wave, but something much more interesting.   Bankers, lawyers, and other business advisors have been waiting for years for that coming wave of mergers amongst military contractors. As one consultant told me recently, his firm was founded on the notion that some post-post-Cold War […]

An Abundance of Caution, But Not Capacity

By James Hasik

The CDC and the DoD wisely funded an air transport technology for Ebola patients—just not enough of it.   In Tuesday’s Washington Post, Josh Hicks observes that Phoenix Air, a jet-charter service based in Georgia, is the only airline flying Ebola patients from West Africa to hospitals in Europe and North America. Help, however, is on […]

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. Before we complain about the previous government’s paying-off the Navy’s sub-hunting CH-46 helicopters before securing their NH-90 replacements, we should […]

Johnson describes TTIP as a “Churchillian project,” in that it fosters not only British- American but also transatlantic links. To him, objections to TTIP, as illustrated by recent demonstrations, […]

Can Coastal Artillery Backstop the Navy?

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 […]
