The MITRE Respective on Rapid Acquisition

Abstract

As the 2018 National Defense Strategy makes clear, our competitive military advantage is eroding at a time when the threats we face today are more diverse, less predictable, and available to adversaries with access to a globalized technology base. Around the world, the proliferation of advanced technology is allowing more actors to contest U.S. military power in more threatening ways. The Pentagon's response to such rapidly-evolving threats has been the "Third Offset," a broad effort to maintain Americas comparative military advantage. The Third Offset strategy seeks to arrest the erosion of America's conventional deterrence through a combination of advanced capabilities, innovative operational concepts, and new organizational constructs to extend U.S. military dominance.
