Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne wants to know how to prepare, mass, and deliver precision strike in cyberspace. Speaking Oct. 20 at Johns Hopkins University to the Precision Strike Association, Wynne talked broadly about many Air Force initiatives, saying that defending and fighting in the cyber domain is “absolutely critical” to maintain air, space, sea, and ground operations. Wynne maintained that attaining and maintaining cyberspace dominance will improve the “information mosaic” which he described as the “whole net of data—analog and digital, pixels and composites images—from all sensors that can be collected and downloaded and cross-loaded for use by all in the fight.”
House lawmakers unveiled a new reconciliation package July 15 with $60 billion for defense, $290 billion less than the Pentagon has been seeking, a day after a Senate vote to advance the annual defense policy bill failed—developments that show the perilous state of the Pentagon’s ambitious plans for fiscal 2027.
