The Defense Department will invest $12 billion to $15 billion from
its fiscal year 2017 budget slotted for developing a Third Offset
Strategy on several relatively small bets, hoping to produce
game-changing technology, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
said.
“This is a learning space. Some of the investments we make won’t to
pay off. But we are going to place multiple small bets on places where
we think we can make a difference, where we think the leverage of the
technology exists to actually move the enterprise forward and look at
the potential for a third offset. The question we’re
trying to pose now is, 'Do the technologies that are being developed in
the commercial sector principally provide the kind of force multipliers
that we got when we combined tactical nuclear weapons [in the first
offset] or precision and stealth [in the second offset]?' And if the
answer is yes, then we can change the way that we fight in this
battlespace”
