On February 5, Whitney McNamara, nonresident senior fellow at Forward Defense, published a piece in the Pell Center’s series, “The Project on U.S. – China Technology Competition” entitled, “For an Enduring Advantage, Accelerate Adoption over Stymieing Theft.” McNamara discusses how China’s widespread espionage targeting critical intellectual property threatens US economic and military power and emphasizes the vital role that the Department of Defense should be playing in regard to a solution.
Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
