Deep dives
The future of US defense: Private companies working with governments
Private defense companies collaborate with governments through processes like foreign military sales. They comply with government regulations and work closely with the US government in the procurement and manufacturing of weapons systems. They aim to build tightly tailored defense tools for countries, focusing on specific threats and needs, rather than providing one-size-fits-all solutions. The goal is to give nations the ability to defend themselves, shifting the US role from being the world's police to a provider of defensive tools.
