Byron Callan on Trump Defense Policy in Bloomberg Government

Defense innovation: Where are things headed?" by Sandra I. Erwin


Sandra I. Erwin quoted Defense analyst Byron Callan in her Bloomberg article, "Defense innovation: Where are things headed?". 

Erwin writes:

Under Trump, the relationships that Carter had been developing with commercial technology firms may end, suggested defense industry analyst Byron Callan, of Capital Alpha Partners. "This may be seen as a positive for heritage defense contractors," he wrote in a research note. "We don't know quite yet what to do with the theme of more commercial competition in some defense segments. We still expect that this will be emphasized in some parts of Congress under the broader concern of eroding U.S. technology dominance and need for acquisition agility. However, we really have to wait and see who comprises DoD civilian leadership and their interest in pursuing this sort of change or whether they are content to rely on government labs and heritage firms for innovation."
