The Trump administration will need to close the gap between the defense industry and Silicon Valley to prevent the U.S. military from losing its technological edge, according to a new report released Wednesday.
The Defense Department’s complex regulations and bureaucracy have made it difficult for the agency to adopt new technological capabilities at a reasonable pace and cost, say the authors of the “Future Foundry” study published by the Center for a New American Security. This has made defense innovation unappealing to tech companies that thrive on risk-taking and adaptability.
