Kris Osborne, National Interest: Is the U.S. Army Building a New "Big 10" Set of Futuristic Weapons?
They build the renounced "Big 5" weapons programs in the 1980s, so why can't the military do it again?
U.S. Army leaders are quite vocal and clear about the service’s six major modernization priorities, however, a close look across the spectrum of current major programs raises an interesting and pertinent question: could the Army now be building ten new platforms?
The 1980s-era “Big Five” weapons platforms are well known and often discussed as defining elements of the modern Army. These five systems are all combat tested and were massively upgraded over the years with new sensors, networking, weapons and computer systems.
