This is such a smart and informative summary of much needed reforms that should make their way into the FY25 Defense Budget. Particularly important and clear are the first two: 1. More spending to get "a budget that reflects the national security realities." 2. Larger percentage to procurement to deliver "production at scale."

Five FY25 Defense Budget Expectations What Matt MacGregor and I would like to see in the upcoming budget request for defense. 1. A $1T Topline. 2. Larger Percentage to Procurement. 3. Scale Replicator and Autonomy. 4. Scale Investments in AI and Data. 5. Scale Funds and PPBE Reforms. #defenseinnovation #defensetech #FY25 https://lnkd.in/gq5VEYRp

American prosperity and national security are two sides of the same coin. To deter the conflicts staring us straight in the face, we must be so AI dominant that nobody can even imagine we're not number one. We cannot underestimate America's software advantage - every minute warfighters aren't training and using AI is a lost opportunity, and one that we're affording our adversaries. As the lead sponsor of Special Competitive Studies Project - SCSP's AI Expo, we want to convene all of Defense Tech to reintroduce the American industrial base to our pressing problems of national security. Join us May 7th and 8th in Washington DC to forge the future of AI-enabled defense: https://expo.scsp.ai/

🛑 Palantir's Allegiance Lies with Profit, Not Citizen Security 🚫💰 It's time to address the uncomfortable truth about Palantir: despite claims of prioritizing citizen security, their actions speak louder than words. As consumers and citizens, it's crucial to remain vigilant and hold companies like Palantir accountable for their actions. Let's demand transparency, accountability, and a genuine commitment to citizen security from all entities entrusted with such critical responsibilities. #Palantir #CitizenSecurity #ProfitOverPeople #DemandAccountability

“Advocates for [AI’s] rapid adoption are convinced that combat will soon take place at a speed faster than the human brain can follow. But…”    “…[T]echnologists fret that the American military’s networks and data aren’t yet good enough…” - Bloomberg News   Both of these statements are correct, which provides an opportunity for not just defense-focused innovation, but commercial innovation. Many agree that the platforms and software currently in use by our military need significant upgrading, providing a huge opportunity for private sector, dual-use companies. This is where we need private capital and #entrepreneurs to do the heavy lifting.   https://lnkd.in/ehXNz-Nn   #defensetech #dualuse #21stcenturyoffset Neil Keegan Chip W.
