National Security Needs Measurement
1 source · first reported 4d ago
The US national security apparatus requires more than just maps and imagery, it needs accurate measurement to stay ahead of adversaries like China. A decade ago, a US carrier strike group could cross the Pacific with only intermittent detection, but times have changed. Now, China's surveillance capabilities have improved significantly, making measurement a critical component of national security.
Accurate measurement is crucial for national security as it enables the US to assess and respond to emerging threats effectively, particularly in the context of rising global powers like China. This capability has significant implications for the US military's ability to operate and make informed decisions.
