With JADC2, he said the four service branches need more time to perform “bottom up” experimentation to determine the technologies to pursue and how to operate and fight in future conflicts with peer competitors given each service’s unique challenges.
“I just can’t throw away everything we own — nor can the Air Force — and start over. So I think that’s a service unique perspective that’s important as well, not only just for the Army but for all the services,” Murray added.
