New ideas about military doctrine derived from comparisons to Internet Age business practices can be implemented only if the military buys technologically innovative weapons systems. Buying Military Transformation examines how political and military leaders work with the defense industry to develop the small ships, unmanned aerial vehicles, advanced communications equipment, and systems-of-systems integration that will enable the new military format.Dombrowski and Gholz's analysis integrates the political relationship between the defense industry and Congress, the bureaucratic relationship between the firms and the military services, and the technical capabilities of different types of businesses. Many government officials and analysts believe that only entrepreneurial start-up firms or leaders in commercial information technology markets can produce the new, network-oriented military equipment. But Dombrowski and Gholz find that the existing defense industry will be best able to lead military-technology development, even for equipment modeled on the civilian Internet. The U.S. government is already spending billions of dollars each year on its "military transformation" program-money that could be easily misdirected and wasted if policymakers spend it on the wrong projects or work with the wrong firms.In addition to this practical implication, Buying Military Transformation offers key lessons for the theory of "Revolutions in Military Affairs." A series of military analysts have argued that major social and economic changes, like the shift from the Agricultural Age to the Industrial Age, inherently force related changes in the military. Buying Military Transformation undermines this technologically determinist claim: commercial innovation does not directly determine military innovation; instead, political leadership and military organizations choose the trajectory of defense investment. Militaries should invest in new technology in response to strategic threats and military leaders' professional judgments about the equipment needed to improve military effectiveness. Commercial technological progress by itself does not generate an imperative for military transformation.Clear, cogent, and engaging, Buying Military Transformation is essential reading for journalists, legislators, policymakers, and scholars. 606 $aMilitary art and science$xTechnological innovations$zUnited States 606 $aMilitary art and science$xComputer networks$zUnited States 606 $aDefense industries$zUnited States 606 $aInformation technology$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xProcurement 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xReorganization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMilitary art and science$xTechnological innovations 615 0$aMilitary art and science$xComputer networks 615 0$aDefense industries 615 0$aInformation technology 676 $a355.6/2120973 700 $aDombrowski$b Peter J.$f1963-$01030306 701 $aGholz$b Eugene$f1971-$01030307 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451698603321 996 $aBuying military transformation$92447132 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04485nam 2200589 450 001 9910459858403321 005 20211001105545.0 010 $a0-470-82535-9 010 $a0-470-82815-3 035 $a(CKB)2670000000087372 035 $a(EBL)644906 035 $a(OCoLC)730151606 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000559124 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12224417 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000559124 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10566893 035 $a(PQKB)10289713 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC644906 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL644906 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11097583 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000087372 100 $a20160411h20112011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aFoundation design $etheory and practice /$fN.
