Virtual Event | Stuck in the Cul-de-Sac: How U.S. Defense Spending Prioritizes Innovation over Deterrence

In a forthcoming report, Stuck in the Cul de Sac: How U.S. Defense Spending Prioritizes Innovation over Deterrence, CNAS Defense Program experts Dr. Carlton Haelig and Philip Sheers examine the gaps between the Department of Defense’s strategic priorities and its resource allocation and identify a wide range of challenges and opportunities the Pentagon faces in transitioning its key modernization initiatives to the field. This discussion will draw on those insights and cover a range of topics from satellites to shipbuilding.
