Associate Director, Forward Defense
2 days ago
The Atlantic Council's Forward Defense program is a leading think tank that generates ideas and connects stakeholders in the defense ecosystem to promote an enduring military advantage for the United States, its allies, and partners. Our work identifies the defense strategies, capabilities, and resources the United States needs to deter and, if necessary, prevail in future conflict.
We analyze the current and future threat environment, identify strategic choices, and develop and assess US strategy and policy in pursuit of national objectives. Our team assesses the defense capabilities and emerging technologies that are shaping the battlespace and proposes novel concepts for employing these systems to support US defense strategy.
We facilitate government and private sector collaboration to strengthen the defense-industrial base, overcome barriers to innovation adoption, and navigate resource tradeoffs to field capabilities in relevant timeframes.
