And international studies, this is about an hour and a half. All right. Well, were going to go ahead and get started. Good morning, everyone. Im a senior fellow here in the International Security program at csis. And im delighted to kick off this mornings Maritime Security dialogue with vice admiral moore. The Maritime Security dialogue represents a cohosted series between csis and the u. S. Naval institute or usni, and it seeks to highlight both current thinking and future challenges facing the navy, the marine corps, and the coast guard. Today represents our second dialogue for 2017, and we look forward to welcoming yall back for additional events throughout the year. We would also like to thank, in a special way, Lockheed Martin and Huntington Ingles industry for making this series possible. And before we get underway for big events like this, we also like to make just a brief announcement, safety announcement, we dont expect any difficulties, but should there be anything as a conve

We would also like to thank in a special way Lockheed Martin and Huntington Ingles industries for their support in making this event and this series possible. Before we get under way for big, vents like this we also like to make just a brief announcement, safety announcement.

Just look for one of us. And so, for our formal introduction to get things started ill turn to vice admiral peter daly and were happy to have them here and
Four years later the squadron was operational and we built nearly 3,000 of them. Compare that to the f22. In 1981 the air force established a requirement for 750 advanced tactical fighters. It wasnt until 2005, 24 years later, that the f22 was first introduced and instead of 750 of them, we bought 195. If boeing can field a new commercial airliner in five years, and ford can take a car from design to production in 24 months, then theres absolutely no reason the pentagon should take two decades to put a new fighter into service. Things have to change. We have the unfortunate tendency to fix organizational problems with more organization. Ive seen estimates that show 1 3 of the acquisition budget goes to overhead costs. This system is so gummed up it is a wonder things come out the other end.
