Not the school solution. Not even close.

By James Hasik

Using the LPTA criterion for the ENCORE III award is very bad idea. Last Friday, the Professional Services Council (PSC) and the IT Alliance for the Public Sector (ITAPS) sent a letter to Defense Under Secretary Frank Kendall about a seemingly innocuous contracting matter. The two trade associations criticized the decision back in March by the […]

Innovation, leadership, and national security

By Franklin D. Kramer and James A. Wrightson, Jr.

Before Tallinn burns

By James Hasik

The Third Offset must address NATO’s local numerical inferiorities. As Inside Defense reported earlier this month, current events have the US Army questioning its organization, wondering if it’s otherwise destined to be perennially late to the game. The Russian Army, after all, has gotten rather good at showing up unannounced on short notice. It would […]

Ospreys across the no-man’s sea

By James Hasik

A new “island strategy” for reaction forces could make carrier and amphibious groups less essential. On Monday, the American Hellenic Institute hosted a luncheon with Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos on the occasion of the rollout of a paper by Dan Gouré’s of the Lexington Institute on “Souda Bay: NATO’s Military Gem in the Eastern Mediterranean.” I […]

A full-contact sport

By James Hasik

Transferring military technology takes time, teams, and money—for now. Technology transfer and national security—everyone talks about it, and most everyone needs it. This week the Atlantic Council hosted a discussion with some European diplomats on just how to make it happen, and afterwards, we jotted down some further thoughts. Transferring or co-developing technologies effectively demands […]

Newer aircraft, bigger bills

By James Hasik

In the USAF, mission-capable rates are not a matter of age or scale efficiencies.  In Air Force Times this week, Jeff Schogol pulled some descriptive statistics from USAF records to report on “which aircraft are most mission-ready.” His list included the various types of attack, bomber, cargo (including gunship and electronic warfare), fighter, rescue helicopter, tilt-rotor, […]

Is the LRS-B urgently needed?

By James Hasik and Rachel Rizzo

The new bomber isn’t coming soon, but some stopgaps should be. Seven years ago, Robert Haffa and Michael Isherwood of Northrop Grumman’s Analysis Center argued that the US Air Force urgently needed a new bomber—indeed, by 2018. Enemy missiles, they thought, could shut down the remaining forward airfields from which American fighter-bombers could fly. Those […]

Mystery plane, challenging mission

By James Hasik and Rachel Rizzo

Is the bomber’s target set feasible, or even advisable? What’s the most important role for the USAF’s planned Long-Range Strike Bomber (LRS-B)? What could it do that fighter-bombers, cruise missiles, and drones couldn’t? Arguably, a big manned bomber offers a unique combination of massive, repeatable, human-on-scene air power at a distance, which is valuable when […]

What if the aircraft carrier had never been invented?

By James Hasik

A thought experiment in bureaucratic rivalries, foregone technologies, and alternative histories Aircraft carriers are multi-billion dollar investments—in the case of USS Gerald Ford, some $12 billion. They take years to build—in the case of the French ship Charles de Gaulle, twelve years. They take a long time to repair—USS Eisenhower is just back from a two-year stay at […]
