Hello, everyone. Good morning. Its great to see a Beautiful Day and such a beautiful place in a very important time for many, many reasons. But we here today to talk about the challenges that the Defense Industry and our Government Faces as a result of the pressure from wall street. How does that Quarterly Earnings report affect the ability of our government to innovate and protect us . If the big question, its an important question with lots of ramifications for years to come. Here to discuss this and attack this problem, we have mr. Michael leskinen, executive director, aerospace and defense, jpmorgan. He is the wall street guy thats basically demanding all these things so you have some good insight for us. We have mr. Raj shah, managing director, diux. Hes part of the entity, 200 million from the government had out in Silicon Valley to go out and acquire new technologies and find the need is, coolest things on the horizon that can really help us. We had the secretary of the navy, ho
The jihadist footprint. Chattanooga. Im thinking about the hatchet attack in new york. Think about the beheading in oklahoma. Very strange cases very difficult to categorize but clearly some inkling of jihadist ideology there that there are a lot of other issues Like Mental Health with personality disorders and so on. One could argue in this is that the hypothetical level that a lot of these individuals in europe find it much easier to go in the direction of syria and iraq. For one reason or another they dont find that outlet that they might basically let their anger in the radicalization out. The final point and i will wrap it up here in the most interesting part is the q a part for sure is a different approach from the governments point of view on the two sides of the ocean. On both sides particularly on the european side there has been a strengthening of the harder part of a counterterrorism spectrum. Legislation have been on both sides of the ocean but particularly some parts of th
That is Something Congress is trying to work on once more. Well come back to that a little later in the discussion. Same question, dave over to you. I think there is a real opportunity for us to be able to accelerate. The challenges we need to be more deliberate around the way that we are experimenting with this technology. The dialogues ive been having with some leadership is a renewed enthusiasm around taking emerging technology and the war fighters getting together we were trying to figure out what is the potential of the technology but in many ways, like my house, i cant anticipate how they are going to use it. They have far better ways to see it then we do. Its the sitter of brain storming process that allow you to adapt the procedures that you are going to use to employ the capability and feed that back into the acquisition process. Then you can tighten up the cycle time. Its its a co evolution of the solution. To have an example of the kind of things youre talking about . At lea
Was established and these people right now are probably dominating among the people who have returned to European Countries. For these people there need to be options other than going to prison for 20, 30, 40 or so i have always been in my colleagues and i have always been very forthright in pushing European Countries to establish reIntegration Programs for people who are generally disillusioned to believe they made a mistake who have not committed major crimes. Its something that can be very tough but allows for the reintegration of people back into their societies. You have these three different groups, disillusioned, disturbed and dangerous. I think right now by far the Largest Group isnt that the fourth group which i call the undecideds. A lot of people have returned and is not clear at all what kinds of things they would do in the long term. This shouldnt surprise us. This thread and this is my final remark, this threat will play out over long period of time. If afghanistan in the
Conversation they have the best death in a row. But at the same time to bureaucratize that we dont innovate very well weaken the eve of the glass is half full or halfempty. I would counsel congress to be optimist that is a way of life i ascribe to you cannot have everything all the time and think everything will be well all the time that could be realistic about the potential. We really do have the taxpayer in mind that seems to be a struggle with the current leadership on the hill and their understanding of the Industrial Base teaches secretary mcnamara recognize the need somebody needed to look to those logistics from 50 years ago to see that in a different light in since we have continued to see that as a way to support the mission constantly. That drives the potential solutions with the revolutionary opportunity and trusting in the entrepreneurial spirit is going to be 0k if you learn from those mistakes with the investment of technology is all worth it. With the process and the st
