The defense industry has been depressed by low demand for the last 20 years. That situation has changed abruptly and created bottlenecks and demands with regard to efficiency and technology and innovation, respectively.

Let’s meet in the heart of Paris, share ideas, and discuss how we can continue to bridge the gap between commercial technology and military applications.🗼🛰️

After attending this week’s packed #AFA Air Warfare Symposium (note to the Gaylord – attendance numbers and parking capacity need to be roughly equal), it's clear that the Department of the Air Force’s (DAF) approach to Great Power Competition (#GPC)—where agility and innovation rule the day—is very much similar to large and complex corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Drawing from a couple of days of discussions and reflections, including insights from #Deloitte M&A veterans, I assert that the #airforce and #spaceforce must embrace an M&A mindset to revolutionize their operations and strategic stance. Successful corporations use M&A for swift growth, tech access, and competitive edges; the Air Force should too, to spearhead its transformation and secure its position in global defense. Adopting M&A strategies allows for rapid integration of the latest technologies and methods. By partnering with top M&A advisors and pioneering defense startups, the Air Force can skip over traditional development delays, gaining immediate advancements in AI, cybersecurity, drone, and space defense technologies. This boosts operational effectiveness and nurtures the innovation and adaptability our Airmen and Guardians need. An M&A strategy streamlines resource use, cuts redundancies, and frees up funds for critical capabilities and future projects. It fosters collaborative R&D, merging military know-how with the private sector's speed and creativity to address complex problems that conventional methods struggle with. Implementing this approach will significantly change the game for the Air Force, driving it towards unmatched strategic and operational dominance. Boldness is essential for national security and global stability, and it's time for the DAF to make this audacious, and critically necessary, leap.

Investment Review day 9 of 50: Lockheed Martin $LMT Lockheed Martin is one of the world’s largest defense contractors, with products and services spanning aircraft, missiles, satellites, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies. The company's focus on innovation, collaborations with industry leaders, and its commitment to advancing 21st-century security capabilities position it well to capitalize on the growing global demand for advanced military aircraft and defense systems. Despite near-term earnings pressures, and recent delays to F-35 program, the company's fortress balance sheet, consistent dividend growth, and optimistic outlook for sustained growth in sales, profit, and free cash flow make it an attractive long-term investment. I bought Lockheed Martin in 2022 to start to build up my exposure to dividend paying stocks. Which dividend payers do you own? -- I'm putting my holdings under the microscope. Over the next 50 days I'll break down my whole investment portfolio. Wins, losses, and the 'why' behind it all. And on day 50 I'm going to share the full portfolio!
