Perspectives From the Department of Defense

In the Department of Defense, the consensus is clear that
American servicemen and women deserve access to the best
technology, tools and devices the world has to offer. But,
acquiring those new technologies and replacing old ones is much
easier said than done. The whole reason the Defense Innovation
Unit was created was to accelerate public/ private partnerships
and acquisition, but that takes cooperation on the DoD’s side as
well. Steve Wert is a Program Executive Officer for the Air Force
Life Cycle Management Center and is a proponent of the DIU’s
work. He joins hosts Dan Dillard and Zach Walker to discuss the
tangible solutions DIU offers to DoD issues.
