The US Air Force has maintained air superiority for decades , and all of sudden that air superiority is being threatened by $ 400 quadcopters that you can buy at any big-box store . The threat is asymmetric , and very real .

“ We ’ re also seeing this evolving defense landscape , where there ’ s contest in every single domain : land , air , sea , space and cyberspace . The battlefield itself is changing . The landscape is moving increasingly to the digital domain . It ’ s all about who has information dominance . It ’ s all about data . It ’ s about insights . It ’ s about secure connectivity , especially at the tactical edge ."
