Can Market Bridges Speed to New Naval Fleet Capabilities?

In doing this, the Navy could also become the genesis for maturing new technologies rapidly with marketable potential—thereby sustaining a renewed and more vibrant military-commercial relationship. Could a market bridge between the Navy and industry provide the demand and regulatory environment conducive to produce the next “internet” or “microchip”—developments that served a military use but became integral to our modern economy?
