The U.S. Naval War College (NWC) has hosted its third annual Cyber & Innovation Policy Institute’s (CIPI) Summer Workshop in Newport, R.I., bringing together academics, practitioners, and government officials to discuss opportunities in military innovation. The workshop will focus on the history of military cooperation on research and development and highlight barriers and opportunities for future success.
“Defense science and technology cooperation with our allies and partners is among the most important issues we face in this decisive decade,” said Leah Dreyfuss, senior advisor & chief of staff to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber Policy. The 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS) also calls out our robust network of allies and partners as our asymmetric advantage.
Leah Dreyfuss, senior advisor & chief of staff to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber Policy, stressed the importance of demonstrating to adversaries and allies that the U.S. can be a good partner in deterring and fighting conflicts. She also highlighted the need for wargaming exercises to help streamline the process of developing and fielding new warfighting capabilities.
“It is easy to write about ‘partners and allies’ in defense strategy. But it is harder to put these words into practice,” stated Frank Smith III, Ph. D., director of CIPI. He added that the risks and rewards of sharing defense science and technology with allies and partners are too important to ignore.
The CIPI workshop is part of NWC’s efforts to advance innovative research, education, and outreach to support the U.S. Navy’s modernization efforts.
The U.S. Naval War College (NWC) has warned against the growing threat of cyberattacks from adversaries and partners. The college said that the 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS) has identified the need to strengthen military collaborations in areas such as defense science and technology.
To address this challenge, NWC has hosted its third annual Cyber & Innovation Policy Institute’s (CIPI) Summer Workshop in Newport, R.I., bringing together academics, practitioners, and government officials to discuss opportunities in military innovation.
