What Next for the Third Offset Strategy?

Abstract

Policymakers express increasing concern that the U.S. military risks losing its global technological supremacy. In2014, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel warned that the U.S. militarys dominance at sea, in the air, in space, in cyberspace, and elsewhere could no longer be taken for granted. Other countries, including potential U.S. adversaries, are modernizing their militaries, and some have acquired sophisticated missiles and precision-strike systems. These capabilities could enable them to restrict U.S. military access to operating domains and undermine U.S. ability to project power globally.
