This article is like having some realistic, yet optimistic, soul turn on the light in a room that was uncomfortably falling into gloom and needed just such a boost. Thanks.
Really enjoyed this article. Has a similar article been written on the timely response of the aircraft industry during World War II? If not, I would like to encourage you and your team to take on that task and produce a similar article.
I think the key to this type of success is to do it outside of the Department of Defense - too much regulation, overly bureaucratic and fighting the last war mind set (lack of innovative thinking).
With the development of sea drones, is China’s dominance of shipbuilding the equivalent of fighting the last war? It is a scary thought that they are in this lead position and it seems like a serious potential threat to our sovereignty.
curious about command and control of relatively short range drone vessels - say in the far Pacific. And the potential vulnerability of the controlling entity.
The concern I have is the ability to jam the signals controlling the drones. Or worse yet taking over their control. The ability to stay one step ahead of hackers is always a struggle so how do they combat this tactic?
Ignoring China and their stated intent as well as implied by their actions is by definition - irrational! We must be prepared. How did the pacifist/insufficient lack of defense preparation work out for Ukraine?
sadly it is necessary. peace through strength. without deterrence you are at the mercy pf another country's goodwill. irresponsible approach to say the least.
Not to do so ignores decades of Chinese Communist commitment and efforts to achieve economic and military dominance over America and the west. That's not anti-Chinese propaganda, it is readily verifiable, and pretending otherwise serves no useful purpose to anyone but the Chinese Communist Party. What was not mentioned in this article was the very real possibility that China as we know it is economically doomed, largely because its internal economy is a house of cards and its demography an unfolding and unmitigatable disaster. Should China devolve into its constituent (historical) warlord states as the economy fails, the military threat to the US may become even more unpredictable.
I enjoy these articles, but I wish there was more data on the companies' financials. I know most of these are startups and are not publicly traded. It would be nice to know their value based on the last financing round, revenues, and their prospects for profitability, or at least being cash flow positive.
Great article. Thanks for digging up these stories

Been hearing a lot about the problem. Thank goodness for people who find solutions!

So thankful we have people like this ! ! !
Who knew, it is comforting to know America has these types of people in her ranks, who see a need and act on it, very impressive, very ...

Reading this call, I'm always lifts my patriotic spirit!🇺🇸
Rational optimists should seek peace, not foment war. Framing China as an inevitable enemy is wrong headed and dangerous.

When we do not reckonize we are in a war with China, that is more dangerous.
Brilliant people. I wish we had here in UK people like them running this country, the UK.

Fascinating. Thanks.
Very interesting article and I'm hoping for these companies great success.
So interesting--oh the possibilities!
