Defense & Aerospace Daily Podcast [Dec 08, 22] RAND’s Chow on Takeaways from West Coast Aerospace Forum
On this episode of the DefAero Report Daily Podcast, sponsored by Bell, Dr. James Chow. The director of the Rand Corporation’s Project Air Force, discusses last week’s West Coast Aerospace Forum — a collaborative effort among Rand, the Aerospace Corporation, MITRE, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies — lessons from Russia’s war on Ukraine, deterring China from miscalculating in the Pacific, prioritizing long-range strike as well as command and control and industrial base investment, whether the B-21 Raider medium bomber by Northrop Grumman is the right plane for the Pacific theater, and the dire state of America’s nuclear weapons enterprise with Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian.
