Join Hudson Institute for a conversation with Rep. Jim Banks and Rep. Seth Moulton on the recently released results from the Congressional Future of Defense Task Force's year-long study of the U.S. military and state of US national security. The discussion will be moderated by Senior Fellow, Bryan Clark, with additional perspectives from Adjunct Fellow, Dan Patt.
Among its recommendations, the Task Force proposed the U.S. government mount a renewed effort to affordably incorporate new technologies into American military forces, mature emerging operational concepts, strengthen defense equipment supply chains, improve cybersecurity, and advance U.S. alliances and partnerships. As the nation enters a period of fiscal and security uncertainty, the Task Force’s findings and recommendations are more important than ever and should inform decisions of the next administration–regardless of who wins the upcoming presidential election.
Please join the Director of the Hudson Institute’s Center for Defense Concepts and Technology Bryan Clark as he discusses findings and recommendations from the Congressional Future of Defense Task Force with Task Force chairs Congressmen Jim Banks of Indiana, Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, and Adjunct Fellow Dan Patt.
Join Senior Fellow Dr. Rebeccah Heinrichs and Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) for a fireside discussion on how Congress can guide American strategy, the need to modernize the defense industrial base, and the vital role of allies and partners in an unstable international environment.
Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Robert McDowell for a discussion of the book and communications law with the authors, Harold Furchtgott-Roth, Kirk Arner, and Arielle Roth.
Please join Congressman Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) and Senior Fellow Ken Moriyasu for a discussion on Central Asia’s economic and strategic significance and why updating US trade policy is key to unlocking the region’s potential in an era of renewed great power competition.
