War Experience Provides America’s Industry With The Skills To Build Trump’s Wall (From The National Interest)

War is the greatest engine of technological and organizational change. The fifteen-year fight against Islamic jihadist terrorist groups has proven this once again. The nature of these conflicts demanded the development of new intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance technologies, processes and organization. U.S. companies responded with a revolution in sensors, command and control systems, data management and fusion software and platforms. Now they are bringing the capabilities and know-how acquired from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq back to the U.S. and applying them to the effort to safely and humanely secure the U.S.-Mexico border. I have written more on this subject for The National Interest here.
