NGC2 | Executive Brief, The Evolving Army Acquisition Landscape

Jeff Snyder — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 17:37:17 GMT

The Department of the Army’s modernization of Command and Control demonstrates a structural reset of acquisition authority, architectural standards, and competitive dynamics. Authority has shifted to empowered Portfolio Acquisition Executives (PAEs), who have now defined their organizational constructs and are actively organizing “trade space” across PAEs to reallocate resources and programs based on operational demand. At TEM 15, senior leadership also made it clear that Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) is a foundational platform alongside major weapons systems such as the M1E3.

From strategy to markets: How the 2025 NSS repositions defense industry - BCE Consulting

Scott Gerber, Ph.D. — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 05:30:00 GMT

The release of the 2025 U.S. National Security Strategy has reshaped the analytical landscape across the defense and security community. Commentators have focused on its clear reprioritization of the Western Hemisphere, an intensified emphasis on economic security, and a recalibrated view of China that emphasizes economic and regional competition while lowering the temperature of war-focused rhetoric. Although the NSS stops short of presenting China as the singular organizing principle of U.S. strategy, it nonetheless underscores the need to sustain military overmatch and deter aggression, explicitly including threats against Taiwan. These shifts represent more than rhetorical adjustments. They signal a restructuring of demand signals, capability requirements, and market access pathways across the transatlantic defense industrial base. For industry, government, and investors alike, understanding the new hierarchy of U.S. strategic priorities is essential for anticipating procurement trends, identifying emerging opportunities, and navigating the competitive terrain that will define the next decade.
