“In reality, true military innovation is less about technology than about operational and organizational transformation.” — Christian Brose, The Kill Chain I recently read Christian Brose’s book The Kill Chain, which argues, in part, that the US military has failed to adopt technologies that are in widespread use in the civilian world. According to Christian Brose, what is table stakes for any number of Silicon Valley technology companies is absent in the world of military technology. Brose’s specific argument is that while the US military has maintained outdated weapons systems that can’t communicate with each other or with soldiers, Silicon Valley has perfected technologies that enable automatic data analysis, scalability, interoperability, and extensibility. At root, the claim is that the US military has remained in a silo, and has proven itself unable to avail itself of technology that is widely available in the civilian world.
