Defence Industry Europe’s Post

The sheer size and scale of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine necessitates that the U.S. defence industrial base continues to evolve to meet potential future challenges of similar proportion, U.S. European Command's top official explained during keynote remarks at the Emerging Technologies for Defence Conference & Exhibition in downtown Washington.  Speaking remotely to conference attendees, Army Gen. Chris Cavoli, commander of Eucom and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, said that the large-scale conflict in Ukraine is unlike other conflicts that the U.S. has observed over the last 30 years. “And that has profound implications, I think, for the sort of technologies and the sort of defence industry that we need based on the size of the conflict,” Cavoli said. “If you have a very exquisite piece of equipment, but you only have one or two of them — and you’ve got a huge expanse geographically to cover — that might not turn out to be the best equipment strategy for the situation that you’re in,” Cavoli explained, adding that the U.S. hasn’t been in such a position for many years.
