Fixing US weapons r&d

If you were elected president(or appointed secretary of defense), how would you fix the US military's r&d woes?

I would start designing things in the military and putting out contracts for manufacturers, not weapons designs. It seems really simple that the military would produce a design for a weapon and take bids for producing said weapon.

*manufacturing, not manufacturers

I would declare war on Israel and execute every jew in the country. That alone will get rid of all the trash bloating the industry and economy

Nationalize the defense industry. There should be no profit motive to national defense.

...

This leaves you with the problem that when something goes wrong like it always does, the people who should be raising the alarms are frequently engaging in careerist ass-covering instead. Look up the story of the Mark 14 torpedo.

Except that your Ordnance Department was a complete shitshow. They failed to prepare for ww1, even though the conflict raged on for years before the first US troops entered Europe; they kept the BAR for ww2 without any upgrades; and one man's faggotry was enough to adopt a slightly shortened .30-06, and even force it on NATO, even though they had nearly endless stockpiles of .30-06 laying around.

It isn't possible to fix it anymore because the country is literally all niggers at this point. Normal points of contention for reform aren't remotely applicable because the country isn't capable of implementing any of it nor is it capable of business as usual.

Its the fact anything the Ordnance did to the gun if the GI could he ripped it off. Turns out it was a better automatic rifle than it was a LMG. That thing shined in Korea.

Scrap the F-35.
Revive ASF-14 for the Navy.
Blend F-15X, F-15SE and F-15SMT.
Blend F-16V with YF-16 CCV, HiMAT, F-16 VISTA and maybe F-16 SFW, revive the F-16XL. Put F-22 back to production and revive FB-22. Lockheeb must do these for free.
Revive variable cycle turbofan technology and try to advance it to ramjet-hybrid level if possible, as claimed by GE.
Revive the YF-23.
Make a 6th-gen fighter based on the X-36.
Revive B-1R.
Buy production license for Su-35, MiG-35/29K and Rafale and make better domestic versions.
Buy production license for R-73 and make better domestic version using whatever technology there was developed for the AIM-9X.
Buy production license for the latest S-300 variant they will spare and make a better S-400 out of it.
Convert the oldest airworthy Stratofortress frames into QB-52 suicide bombers.
Thrust vectoring and sidewinders for air defense are now obligatory for all combat aircraft. Also rear-guns for larger aircraft.
All capital ships, especially supercarriers, are now obliged to be at least minimally self-reliable for their defense against aircraft and smaller vessels.
Declare war on Sunni Islam. Nuke the cube.
Repay all of Greece' debt provided they will become the frontline for the New Crusade if (((they))) don't agree go full Gladio with the GD.

do I know you?

It's me, user.

Call in every C-level executive of every current military contractor, then execute them all for treason.
Proceed to hire new guys and tell them that they shouldn't try to treat the state as as their personal bottomless wallet unless they want to end up like their forebears.
Then start to focus on ruggedness and cheap/quick to produce stuff instead of the most high-tech stuff, because that's also good enough to kill hadjis and can actually win a war against a near-equal opponent instead of being unable to replace losses after the first week of fighting.

Just stop funding research and instead say "we won't buy your shit unless its good", let Lockeeb fund their own damn R&D. We don't even really need much of a military anyways as long as we have operational nukes, almost all of our funding should be directed towards space and missile defense. The only purpose that a standing army serves is protecting Israel through regime change wars, which we obviously do not need or benefit from. You can't take over the US without nukes because everyone here has guns, and you can't take over the US with nukes because we will just nuke you back.

Was Eisenhower right?

Not reading 90 pages unless you can assure me whatever policy is laid out doesn't put money in the pockets of the inherently jewish military industrial complex.

I used to work for a company that bought a lot of shit from state industry in china and lots of times you could ask for absolutely stupid tier deals and they'd agree because the guys selling and making shit had no idea what it cost to make or sell.

this is hyperbole but not all wrong. Look at California cancelling its hugely expensive high speed rail. This country is (due to institutional rot, de-industrialization, and browning and it's associated corruption) literally incapable of large industrial projects.

Break up Lockheeb, General Dynamics and maybe Boeing for good measure.

Stop enabling kitchen-sink projects like the JSF where additional roles and features are added mid-development with no regard for whether the project can still perform its initial function. If the designers think they can adapt it to a new role then let them run with it, but the new variant must be broken off into its own project so the two variants don't drag each other down with incompatible or superfluous requirements (so the land-based JSF doesn't have to worry about the CATOBAR model's size limits and structural requirements, the CATOBAR model doesn't have to worry about the VTOL model's weight limits and the VTOL model doesn't have to worry about the other models' supercruise and stealth requirements). This actually saves R&D costs in some cases, because much of the Joint Shekel Finder's development problems were from trying to fit an increasingly long list of features into the already-overloaded VTOL airframe.

Stop authorizing projects like the LCS that have no clearly-defined role. In my hunt to figure out what the actual purpose of the LCS was supposed to be, I discovered that the USN literally just ordered them for no reason (aside from the (((usual reasons))), of course) and then invented a need for them years later to justify the investment:
The designers clearly knew they wanted some kind of patrol boat, but they couldn't seem to agree on what kind. The specification alternates between a relatively large and capable blue-water ASW corvette, a small and fast green-water gunboat or a multipurpose patrol ship with mine warfare capabilities, and somewhere along the line they threw in a requirement for amphibious warfare capabilities because it replaced a LHD in the budget. But because they never actually decided on a role, the result is this total clusterfuck of a ship that isn't good at any of these roles.

Along the same lines, stop waiting until all of our actually important equipment is 50 years old and literally falling apart before developing a replacement. This is a problem that affects every branch, but the USN are the ones feeling it the worst: we retired all our heavy ASMs twenty years ago, are just now adopting a stopgap replacement that barely improves on its predecessor, and haven't even drawn up the requirements for an actual successor yet. Our frigate fleet is the same story, our last FFG was scrapped in 2015 but we didn't start searching for a replacement until 2017 and won't actually order any until 2020.

Place strict limits on all future warships to counteract the size and mission creep that's been plaguing all our surface combatants since the 70s, and redesignate the Zumwalts as cruisers while we're at it. Arleigh Burkes get to stay because we can't afford to replace them in the escort role just yet and it would be silly to have a fleet of nothing but cruisers.

No, that was the exact opposite of the winning strategy. The USSR had the advantage in a nuclear exchange for most of the Cold War, but we could take the economic hit from a few Koreas and Vietnams a lot better than the Soviets could.

Fuck the jews.
Fuck liberals.
Fuck darkies.
Colonial bloodline only R&D.
Pragmatism over progress.
Unified munitions and fuel.
Cheap, dependable, durable.
US only industry.

...

...

I suppose I should have done (((progress))).

1. End lobbying.

2. Provide full public detailed analysis and live-streamed testing of weapons to the public.

3. Any pattern to be included into the US military arsenal is to be void of copyright and becomes public property (thus any mom and pop shop can make said guns/arsenal).

Declare war on a rival superpower. Bonus: Israel is their co-belligerent.

Might make it slightly better but how would it stop the MIC? First, manufacturers would just charge 10x as much (muh milspec) while cutting corners on everything. The same few uncompetitive corporations would get all contracts anyway by pure (((coincidence))). The careerist military leadership would probably keep on designing, with encouragement of corrupt congress, the same wasteful designs in close cooperation with the manufacturers.

Especially if you are thinking of a sudden restructuring. All that money, power and influence in the MIC right now. Once you cuck them out of it, where do they go? Do you expect them to just say oh well and look for a new job? They would throw the nation into chaos as they scramble to shut it the fuck down.

If you wanted to fix it the culture needs to change, and the military needs to be reformed to encourage that change. Tell all the academies to teach efficiency and minimizing waste. Start evaluating officers on efficiency when promoting. Get rid of stupid rules like punishing people for a budget surplus. Make it easier for less connected officers to finger corrupt ones, whistleblow, investigate, etc by creating procedural protection against retaliation and make sure they're followed.


I'll give you a QRD:

In the following order:

Improve bureaucratic efficiency.
Enforce streamlined RnD/manufacturing.
Decrease budgets according to project importance, priority, and proven capability.
Increase order count with the funds saved from prior steps.

This would hinder feature-creeping, improve development pace, and incentivize contractors with larger orders.

Cont. I would also improve the amount of servicemen feedback, and creat a program to randomly select servicemen with past deployment experience who are not under orders (not busy) to general test RnD equipment.

Offer a different sort of contract. Instead of pouring more and more money in, I'd say
A company that would accept the contract would then either deliver what I want for the price I set, or keep forking out more and more money until it either delivered the product or went bankrupt, likely paying me back the whole amount in the process.

Obligatory.
Also Obligatory.
Good but don't forget to restart production of anti-satellite missiles.
The F-16XL might make for a decent export aircraft though long term I'd rather have light air defense/multirole be handled by revived F-20s.
I wouldn't bother with the F-22 as it's a high maintenance pile of dogshit without IRST and inferior WVR performance to contemporary 4++ gen Russian aircraft, it'd be better to discard the F-22A and have the FB-22 be the dedicated stelf bomber with the F-23 as a dedicated fighter/interceptor.
Yiss.
Why? I can see it in the case of the R-73 and S-300 as burger tech in that regard has crashed with no survivors, but old blueprints from Northrop should be fine in terms of planes.
Airplane development has stagnated anyway since the 1970s so upgraded F-15s with canards and IRST would be more than capable of dealing with upgraded Su-27s.
Maybe exclude CAS craft like the A-10 or planes that are already STOL capable, but other than that ye-

well said.

How many Jews and other non-Whites were involved in producing the P-51 in just 4 months?

A-10 already has Sidewinders and there's no harm in further improving its STOL and instantaneous turn rate, especially when there's no reason to be arsed at all with its sustained turn rate.

More than capable yes, but still somewhat inferior, also asymmetric training. Agreed though that the F-15 would Su-27 redundant, as would Rafale and MiG-29K make F-18 family redundant.

maybe you are asking the wrong question.

Why does the USA spend 3X on military as next 3 nations COMBINED but we can't stop an invasion on our own border in wide open desert?

Like Public Schools, the excess money is what is giving bad results. PS are now a target for scammers selling garbage, due to all the money flying around without any Adult Supervision.

Public Schools and Military have been Jew magnets for over 100yrs.

I doubt Russians would want the US to purchase Flankers just for training purposes.
Besides, the F-15S should only be a long-term stopgap measure until the F-36 and other 5th gen planes enter service assuming there is that much of a need for 5th gen stealth shit in the future.
As for the A-10, adding TV nozzles to its engines might be more of a hassle than it's worth, especially if they end up making the engines less resistant to damage.

I'll throw one in:

The US had a larger amount of nukes for the first half of the Cold War though.


Because it's the kike's policeman.

Grendel is never happening and it shouldn't.

Are all fairly common feelings within the NASIC / Air Force / DIA analyst community. Obviously without touching on classified material that would get a guy vanned, the only justification I've heard talking to people (outside of the folks getting paychecks) for the F-35 is that it's the fighter equivalent of the moon landing, where it accomplishes fuck all for the money, but you walk away with hundreds of new technologies that can be put to real use on real projects. Maybe with the slice of cash going to Northrop or Raytheon or BAE that will be true.

Yes but you need to factor in the vectors, most US nukes were gravity bombs, most Soviet nukes were missiles warheads.
Even back then everyone doubted the capacities of the SAC to actually manage to hit targets inside the USSR with B-36, B-47 and early B-52s especially after the soviets shot down a U-2 despite being much smaller and flying about twice as high (doubts were confirmed when they dumped their obsolete SA-2 in Vietnam and those were still capable to hit heavily modded B-52G that had been modded for them…).
So the US efforts concentrated on putting as much warheads on missiles as possible from the late 60's, while keeping the gravity bombs to a core minimum… the same core minimum as today except they phased out almost all the missiles (and that's only because subs can't fly, sadly).

Naw, just convert over to AK mags.

It worked for the Colonies, why shouldn't it work now?

Retard price signals are for individual active agents who earned the money they're spending.

Imagine if your wife was friends with the shopping mall owner. Your wife gets him to beat you up and steal your credit card, so she could shop at the mall. She then empties the card on overpriced goods the mall owner provides, because it's not her money and she doesn't care about fucking price signals.

This is the military industrial complex.

Name one instance where printing money to pay off debts didn't lead to an inflation crisis. America certainly got hit hard every time we tried it.

Nazi Germany.

Debt to who?

If it's debt to the national reserve, then you just got cucked.

This idea of national debt where the government borrows money from a bank, that should be owned by the government, is vexing to say the least.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_American_currency
That's why the gold and silver standard was established in the United States.


Ideally it's to prevent the government being ripped off by private banks or the government printing money without any backing but the government is retarded and the central bank becomes a pawn of the Rothschilds anyway.

There is too much needless complexity in this relationship.

Provided the state is the husband and the bank the wife, the husband does not borrow money from the wife, he takes from her, and the wife doesn't give him interests either.

The fact the state does not have authority on currency is why we are so much cucked nowadays.

And lo, even the goddamn communists have this system of state borrowing money from banks.

The M2 Bradley was supposed to be a general replacement for the Gavin, a generalist design that could be adapted to for whatever you wanted.

A bunch of fucknuts destroyed this, and were never taken to task for it, similar to how they were never taken to task, and I mean horse whipped in public, over the stupidity of the M-16.

The entire point, was to procure mass replacement of a simple boxy battle taxi, AS A BASE MODEL. From which you could customized however you liked. Instead, a bunch of fuck nuggets rammed in a semi-specialized design that was built entirely around fighting other IFVs and carrying heavy Anti-Tank weaponry with a small amount of infantry for support. Then they made another model that was even more specialized.

But because there was no small, simple base model with decent internal capacity, they couldn't replace all the Baby Boxy Gavins. So the procurement program was a total fucking failure.


The F-35 isn't nearly such a failure, although it is orders of magnitudes more expensive, it at least performs the role it was acquired for in the first place.

If you wanted the F-35 to be better, all that had to be done was drop the A and the B, and acquire the navalized C variant for everybody. And set the Harriers on fire. We would have had the F-35's five years earlier and under half the budget costs.

fuck them
fuck them
Slap them right in the fucking mouth.

Neither of these is as bad as the fucking Stryker though. It was and remains total hot fucking garbage.

Bradley is okay as infantry support vehicle for low intensity conflict tbh.

Still, I fail to see the need for any new fighter.

It's not like Russia and China are eagerly making top tier fighters to compete, just upgrade the damn F16 and be done with it.

What the fuck? Just drop both and replace both with Grendel

Just make a quick barrel change and magazine and drum fed weapon with a longstroke piston, chamber it in Grendel.

USe 30, 60, 100 round mags/drums, and bam, you have your rifle and GPMG in one round

For any level of anti-material work that isn't good enough foor, .50 cal or explosives

The interest is because additional money is supposed to flow into the system from outside the country if it's working right.

If the state is supposed to be the husband Congress certainly doesn't act like one, which is why it's a bitch for the banks.

Everything but the Super Hornets are falling out of the sky due to metal fatigue and other general wear and tear. The cheap, and smart, option would be filling out the ranks with Super Hornets, but its too late for that now. F35 is in production, and we have that stealth drone thing that exists now.

Considering a pickup truck with a bed-mounted DShK works as a ISV over there, I think that's a pretty low bar to only clear with "okay".

Any part that is wear and tear can be replaced.

The idea of wasting billions to "research" then billions more to make new air frames is a joke compared to just repair the existing ones.

It makes no sense regardless.

If the state and bank are one, it would feel additional money regardless if there is a separation or not.

Hence the problem.

Not going to work with planes like the F-22 whose production lines were shut down.

Well, Bradly can effectively fight unorganized tanks.

With the airframe itself you can't really repair that. The moment it has stress fractures its garbage.

Start the magick of restarting the production lines.

Man, I wonder what the ruskies think about that.

That ain't happening. Lockheeb destroyed all the tooling for the F-22.

let's do the magick of remaking the toolings then.

I think they are doing this in order to give all reasons to waste billions of "new" fighter jets.

And what's the actual role of the F-35, btw?

If they want to bomb, why not just mass predator drones?

Don't tell me they actually believe dog fighting is still a thing.

Should go back to metallism instead of this debt back currency to be honest.

No, fiat currency is okay as long as the people trust in it.

Fiat currency can be a great tool as long as there's violence making people "believe" in it.

"""""multi-role"""""

Money laundering the make Israel's economy look good.

Fuck off Mike.

The problem is that the Super Hornet is on the same performance envelope as the F-35.

Fuck off Mike, you're a fucking retard.

So far that would make him Zig Forums material but he went of the deep end after starting believing that his LARP was real and being really obnoxious about him. To the point you find serious entries in M113 description saying "It was NEVER called the Gavin".

Not if the goods are manufactured locally and independent of globalist markets, having an O'Neill cylinder send pods of Asteroid/Moon-mined Silver, Platinum and Molybdenum to a LEO dock for SSTO transports can also help keep prices down.
Another option would be to discourage consumerism and have the economy revolve around the production of small volumes of robust, long-lasting high quality goods at reasonably high prices.
This would also help combat global warming while saving polar bears and rainforests in one fell swoop.

If you can't grow it and it's not in your local markets, then don't bother wanting it. If you really want it that bad, move to a place that does have them. What are you, an idiot?

Colonialism did have its merits.
With O'Neill cylinders even large-scale agriculture would have considerably reduced environmental concerns as instead of cutting down rainforest to plant Palm Trees while spewing Roundup and other gay shit in the environment you could just build an O'Neill cylinder, fill it with appropriate soil+Flora and Fauna then proceed to grow fucktons of produce thanks to an artificially controlled climate in an enclosed biosphere at a Lagrangian point with no direcŧ environmental impact on Earth's natural environment whatsoever.
If you're a kike you could send food from space to niggers and NATO, make them dependent on it then bully them into signing treaties favorable to you.

Sure, sure, tropical fruit is a luxury good. But let's say you need high quality iron and the only local sources are full of impurities and completely unsuitable for what you're doing.
