Defense spending may decline $40–50 billion and could decline as much as $100 billion per year for at least the next 10 years.

One indication of where this review may be focusing is a statement by Army Vice Chief of Staff GEN Peter W. Chiarelli about the redundancy and overlap of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) programs and his call for the services to “sit down … take a look at what we’ve got … and see if we have economies of scale.” This is clearly a good idea.]]> http://www.as.northropgrumman.com/products/e8cjointstars/assets/JSTARS_WATTS_Army.pdf December 23, 2011 Photo Release -- Northrop Grumman Names Bart LaGrone to Lead Airborne Early Warning and Battle Management Command and Control Programs
