""Those areas where we had large seas or oceans between us and adversaries are no longer the boundary conditions that we have experienced," she said, noting that the U.S. has adversaries that operate in "domains" beyond land, sea, and air, but also cyber and space."
"For 57 years, Townes-Whitley said, SAIC has been at the "intersection" of commercial technology that is introduced to very complex mission environments. She said she sees that America's enemies are operating in "multiple modes ... I think one of the things that probably keeps us up at night in the national defense world is the fact that our adversary can use their entire industrial base.""
U.S. defense strategy has become anachronistic, with an industrial base that has aged into legacy capability and lacks full mobilization. Adversaries now operate across multiple domains—land, sea, air, cyber, and space—and can leverage their entire industrial base in coordinated modes of conflict. Effective defense requires enlisting and modernizing the industrial base, connecting capabilities through data, and moving beyond solely purchasing advanced hardware. Rapid modernization and integration of commercial technology into complex mission environments are necessary to match adversary approaches and to defend successfully against evolving, multi-domain threats.
