Supply Reforms and Decision-Making Mechanisms
Conclusion and Future Outlook
Future military superiority will belong to organizations that learn faster than their rivals, adapt, and integrate innovations, rather than to those possessing the most expensive weapons. To survive and maintain deterrence in the defense industry, the only way is to completely abandon traditional acquisition processes and establish an organic link with commercial innovation ecosystems. It is an unavoidable obligation for defense authorities to accept lessons learned from the field and feedback as the highest-level strategic planning input for modern military history.
