The Tech War w China: Daniel Goure
Last updated 2:09 PM ET
Episode Summary
Today on the RealClearDefense podcast "Hot Wash", RCD Editor David Craig looks at competing with China’s military on the technology front. The U.S. military has long enjoyed dominance in its ability to leverage connected communications and data for its warfighters, but peer competitors like China could challenge the U.S. in crucial areas like advanced computing and Artificial Intelligence. The Defense Department’s Joint All-Domain Command and Control project, or JADC2 is an ambitious attempt to integrate data, sensors, weapon platforms, and communication across all services and domains. The number of unique devices and protocols that need to be connected is staggering. What will it take to create a “Network of Networks?” And will it help win the Tech War with China? To find out we are joined by Daniel Goure, Senior Vice President with the Lexington Institute. He served as the director of the Office of Strategic Competitiveness in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and most recently is the author of an article for 1945, “The Undeclared U.S.-China Technology War.”
