Kelley Sayler and Paul Scharre write: While plans for the B-21 — née Long Range Strike-Bomber — have long included an unmanned option, Air Force officials have shown little interest in having that capability on Day One of the plane’s service life. This is unwise; an unmanned option would increase the U.S. military’s operational flexibility, providing much-needed endurance and persistence at only a marginal increase in cost. – Defense One
The US Navy is focused on a major shift in its maritime strategy. With global threats mounting, our Navy is implementing "distributed lethality," a vision that will enable forces to operate in a dispersed, often autonomous manner. – Defense News Mackenzie Eaglen and Rick Berger write: The pivot to Asia and aggression by Russia brought renewed purpose and funding to the Navy and Army, but not the Air Force. Despite its unheralded role in supporting the joint force and its crucial role in establishing air superiority, the service continues to bear the brunt of reduced funding and constant meddling by Congress that goes beyond helpful oversight. – Washington Examiner
