The US Department of Defense has long faced serious financial problems, which leads:PentagonDifficult to satisfyMilitaryDemand. Although the United States spends more than $800 billion a year on national defense, ranking first in the world, this does not seem to be enough. PentagonEfforts have been made to find a solution to the fiscal problem, despite the substantial financial support provided by the US CongressPentagonIt is still not possible to balance the accounts. Even annual audits have not been passed, and the accounts are a mess of fraud, waste and abuse. For such a financial situation, the US Congress andPentagonConcerns were expressed internally, but no substantive action was taken. In this case,PentagonThe financial situation of the company is difficult to really improve, which exacerbates its relationship with the emerging oneTechnologyDivisions between businesses.
U.S. First Deputy Secretary of Defense Hicks urged during a visit to Silicon ValleyDronesManufacturers increase manufacturing capacity to support:PentagonThe Replicator program. However, emergingTechnologyCompanies are not content to work with the military, as traditional defense giants do, and are reluctant to build factories to cater to the military's needs. They believe that the military only wants to get the technology and concepts of innovative enterprises, without really giving them support and orders. An emergingTechnologyThe head of the enterprise even openly ridiculed that the military just wants to be a hooligan who only talks about needs and does not place orders, and there is no reason for innovative enterprises to spend huge sums of money to build factories in order to cater to the military. Such remarks undoubtedly embarrassed and angry Hicks, and also highlighted the military and the emerging worldTechnologyDisagreements between businesses.
PentagonFor a long time, it has worked closely with the established military industrial enterprises, giving them lucrative orders andProfits。However, these companies are only painting a big pie and setting goals for emerging companies, but they do not really give them support and resources. This unfair treatment has given rise to the emergenceTechnologyThe dissatisfaction of the enterprises and the **, they believe that the military-industrial complex enjoys a lucrative one with the militaryProfits, while they are only passively pandering to the needs of the military. This injustice has further exacerbated the military's relationship with the emerging militaryTechnologyRifts between businesses.
In fact, AmericanDronesThe technology is not advanced enough. PentagonThe "Copier" program is designed to catch up with ChinaDronestechnology, but it ignores China's long-term investment and R&D in this field.

PentagonFacing serious financial problems, led to a relationship with the emergingTechnologyDisagreements and conflicts between businesses. This contradiction is further exacerbated by the greed and unfair treatment of the established military-industrial complex. The limitations of American drone technology makePentagonEfforts may not catch up with China. Against such a background,PentagonIt is necessary to recognize its own problems and take substantive actions to solve the financial problems and the emerging onesTechnologyDifferences in enterprises in order to maintain a leading position in the field of defense. At the same time, military enterprises should also face up to their own problems and cooperate with innovative enterprises to jointly promote the development of US defense technology. Only by achieving win-win cooperation can we ensure the long-term stability of the US national defense.
