What’s Ahead In Defense In 2021
Jeremy BogaiskyForbes Staff
From the changes the Biden administration could bring to U.S. national security and defense contractors to the prospect of rising tensions with China and Iran and more grey zone conflicts, here are the issues that Forbes defense contributors expect to shape 2021.
THE BIG TREND: Great-power competition with China becomes a bipartisan cause. The era of Sino-American engagement is over. Security experts in both parties now agree China is a threat to America's future, and must be the main focus of U.S. military preparations.
THE UNCONVENTIONAL WISDOM: Biden barely cuts weapons spending. That's what usually goes first when the budget tightens, especially under Democratic presidents, but there are no obvious program kills this time around and the joint force is overdue for a refresh.
