Road to 350: What Does the US Navy Do Anyway?

If it were credible, yes.

This kind of seesaw performative politics is exactly why I exited the Defense sector- I was tired of being conveniently labeled as “the problem” while every solution I busted my ass to come up with was roundly ignored by USG or so mired in process and under-resourced there was no way forward.

Good luck, it’s a tough space to be in.

One thing that is sticking out like a sore thumb is how many GOFOs are willing to hand-waive away performance requirements to get technology delivered faster. Yet there is no talk of thoughtfully reviewing why those requirements exist or the overhauling the process that led them to believe that particular specification is bloated.

I wonder how much of this is generated by forgetting that Ukraine has been defending itself with our gear.

Didn’t they already kill the JCIDS process? That was the ultimate source.
 
Maybe? Again, not the messaging. It's more along the lines of "we asked for this thing that has a 1000nm range but it can only go 900nm. Good enough, get it fielded!"

Or if you’re the USN, you could get something that goes the agreed upon 1000nmi, and get angry and stop taking deliveries because it doesn’t go 1100.
