Innovation to Deployment: Fixing the Pentagon’s Acquisition Gap
Q: What real-world indicators will show that the transformation is working in the near term?
McGinn points to a healthier industrial base with redundant suppliers and the ability to surge production, as well as ongoing shifts in contracting practices and increased use of modular architectures as signs of progress.
Innovation to Deployment: Fixing the Pentagon’s Acquisition Gap
Q: How do the implementing memos and the warfighter acquisition system change the requirements process and its speed?
The guest explains that the memos aimed to replace slow, linear requirements with iterative, more dynamic processes, including closer government-industry collaboration and warfighter proximity, to speed up decision cycles.
Innovation to Deployment: Fixing the Pentagon’s Acquisition Gap
Q: When Secretary Hegseth described the Pentagon bureaucracy as a last bastion of central planning, how accurate is that characterization today?

Cables Under Pressure: Securing Europe’s Subsea Cables
Q: What are the goals of the EU's Cable Security Action Plan?
The plan includes prevention through mapping and risk assessment, detection through enhanced monitoring, response for repair capabilities, and deterrence against malicious actions.
