US military teams up with Silicon Valley to revolutionize the battlefield
The U.S. military is partnering with Silicon Valley to step up its game on the battlefield.
The Defense Innovation Unit Experimental (DIUX), which is part of the Department of Defense, is connecting the U.S. military with companies developing leading-edge technology that would help it carry out missions quicker and cheaper.
"It's all about decision making faster than the enemy,” Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Harrigian told Fox News.
As the commander of the air war in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, Harrigian knows that on today’s complex battlefields, winning often comes down to timing and efficiency.
“We can't do what we need to do every day without software that's the leading edge,” he said.
