Don't Count on Military Tech to Save the West
In her interview with Anduril's president, Christian Brose ('The Coming Revolution in Military Tech,' Weekend Interview, July 19), Kate Odell writes that 'new technology is changing the geometry of the battlefield.' Mr. Brose adds that 'our conception of military power . . . is just systematically wrong.'
Anduril is providing revolutionary military technology, largely consisting of unmanned, relatively cheap and in some cases reusable weapons systems for the Pentagon. Much of Mr. Brose's unconventional thinking is reflected in his excellent book 'The Kill Chain' (2020), and much of his focus is on the tactical level of war.
