On this episode of the DefAero Report Daily Podcast, sponsored by Bell, our guest is Jerry Hendrix, PhD, President of Hendrix and Associates LLC and Senior Fellow at the Sagamore Institute on his recent National Review article “The Navy’s Littoral Hubris,” how the service bet its future on a mistaken assumption. During our conversation we discussed the troubled Littoral Combat Ship program, Navy force structure and why culture may be the root cause of many of the Navy’s recent operational and programatic stumbles.
