The Pentagon’s proposed 2026 fiscal year budget comes in at more than one trillion dollars, and $179 billion of that is just for research, development, testing, and evaluation.
That money doesn’t go toward buying new jets, tanks, warships, or missiles. It funds the programs and technologies that could determine who wins or loses the next fight.

The Marine Corps will field an advanced smart scope that is designed to hit moving targets in order to help Marines shoot down small drones, said Lt. Col. Eric Flanagan, a spokesman for Combat Development and Integration.
Starting next fiscal year, which begins on Oct. 1, Marine units will begin receiving the SMASH 2000L advanced fire control system, Flanagan told Task & Purpose on Wednesday.
“The SMASH 2000L will give the rifleman the ability to quickly obtain a positive firing solution and increase their probability of kill when engaging Unmanned Aircraft Systems,” Flanagan said.
In the history of this country, we’ve seen presidents awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, Pulitzers, military medals, and countless other awards; awards bestowed on them for actions and deeds they have done, or maybe should have done (looking at you, Obama).

In her 2023 article “How to Win Friends and Choke China’s Chip Supply,” Emily Kilcrease of the Center for a New American Security argued that multilateral cooperation was a vital component of a targeted U.S. export control strategy on advanced semiconductor chips.
