On this episode of the DefAero Report Daily Podcast, sponsored by Bell, Frank Kendall, the 26th secretary of the Air Force, discusses how the threat from China has evolved over the past four years, preparing for an increasingly dangerous nuclear era, how to determine what systems are relevant, whether it’s time to break out the “passthrough” elements of the USAF budget that are used to address joint needs, and the near- and middle-term budget outlook, and Steve Trimble, AvWeek’s defense editor, discusses key takeaways from all three days of the Air Force Association’s Air Space Cyber conference and tradeshow with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian.
