Defense News – Industry Perspective: Creating a New Paradigm for U.S. Force Overmatch
April 01, 2022
Since the end of World War II, the United States has achieved force overmatch by deploying a range of very large, highly complex and extremely expensive assets that ranged from fighter jets and aircraft carriers to satellites and submarines.
And while this overmatch did not always translate into victory on the battlefield, it was undeniably effective in containing the Soviet threat and bringing the Cold War to an end.
Today, this overmatch is no longer absolute, thanks to the rise of
peer and near-peer adversaries. If the United States is to continue to
dominate the battle space, the military must think creatively about new
ways of achieving overmatch, reducing its reliance on large, expensive
and vulnerable military assets, and prioritizing resiliency, flexibility
and interoperability.
