Agree on Drones and Drone swarming.

Not navy, but are we restricted to surface warfare? An Arleigh Burke cruiser is 8000-9700 tons, at $2.2B apiece.

They could conceivably be sunk for $2 million.

To move beyond ships;

Have you heard of RAPID DRAGON? Palletized missile launch system.

Any cargo aircraft just became a bomber with standoff.

We might be better incrementally adjusting platforms and tactics while mass producing and let Joe figure it out. He’s highly motivated, people are trying to kill him.

Currently we incrementally produce all systems and for that matter soldiers, sailors, airmen while massively adjusting doctrine… and massively producing papers.

I agree on all major points.

Thanks for the comment!

I haven't looked at "Rapid Dragon". From the video, it appears to be an interesting and potentially effective concept.
