You get a new generation of consumer tech almost every 2-3 years.
A new generation of Military tech takes about 30 years now.
We can already see that most US military tech orgs are filled with seat warmers related to politicians by this point in time.
The US military keeps improving there is no doubt about that, but the US consumer wing is improving at a far more rapid pace.
A large part of this is mega corporations that grow at a faster rate than military budgets ever could hope to.
The only reason we think US military tech is far more advanced is because there is a military technology monopoly right now. I bet any trillion dollar company could come in and eat their lunch if they were so inclined.
If mega corporations would freely participate in military weapons development the US military would likely be obsolete in 20 years time.
The Future of modern warfare will be letting mega corporations develop military tech for major world governments.
I bet apple could build a better tank than the A1 abrams within 10 years if it started now.
Lockheed Martin today is only worth 100 billion USD.
There should be a new weapons manufacturing company that should come out to replace Lockheed Martin like what Elon Musk did with SpaceX to all the other space companies.
If the US would legalize the purchase of tanks and fighter jets for the US public, it would open up multiple companies to race to build ever better products for the market.
Lockheed Martin was founded in 1995.
Boeing is even older. An ancient dinosaur that needs replacing with a more modernized competitor.
Currently the world is being run by companies that were all founded in the 1990's.
Hopefully soon these dinosaurs will be replaced by companies that were founded in the 2000's and the 2010's.
Today, of the top 10 companies from the year 2000, only 1 is still in the top 10, that is microsoft.
Of the top 10 from the 2010's, only 4 still remain.
By the 2030's, it will be fun to see only 1 remain once again, supreme over all the others.
I am betting on microsoft remaining the world's most valued company in the world by 2030.
Which company are you nerds betting on being the greatest in 2030?
