That would be really great,\u201d she said at the annual Defense News Conference, held blocks from the Pentagon. \u201cThe fact that we\u2019re talking about fiscal year \u201925, and given the speed at which we watch the problems evolve, based on what we put into theater &#8230; is faster than what our budget cycles move at.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DoD has long received criticism over its sluggish pivots and arcane acquisition processes. A commission with the Atlantic Council think tank suggested <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticcouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Commission-on-Defense-Innovation-Adoption-Interim-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">in an April report<\/a> on innovation that the department update budget documentation and better align with its suppliers. Commission members included a former defense secretary and a former undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, among other high-profile individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To fully exert the power of emerging tech, particularly tied to AI or autonomy, the department must understand that \u201ccapabilities require constant innovation and investment,\u201d according to Joe Larson, an algorithmic warfare leader within <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/c2-comms\/2023\/05\/08\/pentagons-ai-office-rebooting-global-experiments-for-jadc2\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Chief Digital and AI Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon rolled out its largest-ever innovation and modernization budget earlier this year, requesting $145 billion from Congress in fiscal 2024. The ask, about $15 billion more than the year prior, designates $687 million for the Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve, an initiative spearheaded by Heidi Shyu, the undersecretary of defense for research and engineering, that aims to fill high-priority gaps with advanced tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs the department wants to expand these capabilities,\u201d Larson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/video\/2023\/09\/06\/defense-news-conference-joe-larson-and-schuyler-moore\/\" target=\"_blank\">said at the conference<\/a>, \u201cwe need to look at our
