Air-Sea Battle to Cost $524.5 Billion Through 2023 -- Zachary Keck, The Diplomat
A new report finds the U.S. Navy and Air Force will spend more on ASB than the nuclear triad over the next decade.
The U.S. military is increasing its spending on capabilities to implement an Air-Sea Battle (ASB) concept to overcome adversaries’ anti-access area denial (A2/AD) strategies, according to a new industry report.
The report by G-2 Solutions, a market intelligence firm, analyzes the “Fiscal Year 2014 Navy and Air Force procurement and RDT&E budgets through the Air-Sea Battle (ASB) lens.” From these, G-2 Solutions deemed a total of 191 programs and program elements to be included in the report, based on the “increased importance their capabilities will bring to an aggregate Air-Sea Battle capability.”
In total, the U.S. military will spend $31 billion more in FY 2014 versus FY 2012 on ASB enabling capabilities. Altogether, G-2 Solutions predicts that the U.S. Air Force (USAF) and U.S. Navy (USN) will spend $524.5 billion on ASB capabilities through 2023.

WNU Editor: From the Washington Post: What is Air-Sea Battle? China has invested heavily during the past decade in precision missile systems and sophisticated radar designed to keep U.S. ships and fighter jets beyond the inner island chain shown below. Air-Sea Battle is the U.S. military’s concept for disabling those systems using long-range bombers and submarines. The concept is designed not so much to fight a war as to convince the Chinese that any conflict with U.S. forces would be long and costly. Pentagon officials say Air-Sea Battle is not solely focused on China, which they describe as the “pacing” threat. The following approaches are the basis for the concept. Read related article.

From Wapo:
The Air Force and Navy have [cooked] up [] more than 200 initiatives they say they need to realize Air-Sea Battle. The list emerged [] from war games conducted by [91 year-old World War psychotic, brain damaged persecution complex stricken and pathologically retrograde 'futurist', Andrew] Marshall [] and includes new weaponry and proposals to deepen cooperation between the Navy and the Air Force. [To deepen the joint money grubbing force and financial incest with a healthy dose of Oedipus Complex between Capitol Hill and Pentagon on both sides of the Potomac].
A former nuclear strategist [and World War psychotic], Marshall has spent the past 40 years [with ZERO Oversight and generous funding by the white-skin niggers of AIPAC] running the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment, [Office of Nut Assessment] searching for potential threats to American dominance [a polite and diplomatic term for White Supremacist Judeo-Christian Al-Qaeda and the American Taliban]. In the process, [91 year-old War Psychotic Andrew Marshall] has built a network of [psychotic] allies in Congress, in the defense industry, at think tanks and at the Pentagon that amounts to a permanent Washington bureaucracy.
[Fortunately. we now have a map of these war mongers in 16 intelligence bureaucracies and the NSA on how these 'Manufactured Consent' creates, operates, maintains and memes its web of existential filth].
While Marshall’s backers praise his office as a place where officials take the long view, ignoring passing Pentagon fads, critics see a dangerous tendency toward alarmism that is exaggerating the China threat to drive up defense spending. [I can take a long views too bereft of style and fashion, so where is my defense contract?]
“The old joke about the Office of Net Assessment is that it should be called the Office of Threat Inflation,” said Barry Posen, director of the MIT Security Studies Program. “They go well beyond exploring the worst cases. . . . They convince others to act as if the worst cases are inevitable.”
[If you replace U.S./America with Israel and replace China with any of AIPAC's enemies then the Air-Sea Battle takes a whole other tonality and complexion bringing to focus why 'money' is spent on such gross garbage.
The whole idea of a 'Game' is to be able to 'find-replace words' like I do and see if it makes meaning. And it sure does! Instead of South China Sea use Red Sea or Arabian Gulf or Russian Arctic... or even Gulf of Mexico.
Add to the fact that wherever there is skyscraper there is Jewish Money and call 'American Dominance' by the existence of Modernist Anti-Nazi Vertical Architecture, you instantaneously destroy the textual and numerical arguments of these 'Nuclear Strategists' and the problem-solution space morphs into Spatial Dimension, instead.]
Meanwhile, the very Philippines that got washed out in Cyclone/Hurricane/Tsunami is getting bunker-busting-depleted-uranium-bomb-proof concrete-underground-bunkers-and-airstrips while Filipinos are diseased, homeless and starved... so the defense contractors in Norfolk and San Diego can take home billion$$$ from a fraud alarmist 'futurist strategy' and invest in Bitcoins, REITs and EFT that will further segregate U.S.
Enthusiastic website you bonk. Do you already respond Bitcoins? I would suggest to construction up at who-accepts-bitcoins.com. They will make the interchange you necessity as their database is oft searched by bitcoin spenders. It's discharge tho'!
