The U.S. Navy was once the world’s leader in new technologies and innovation. However, in recent years, the status of the navy has declined when compared to the navies of other prominent nations. This trend is the result of a tendency of the naval leadership to eschew new technologies. The successful merging of technology with leadership in the Navy will depend upon the strengthening of ties between the public and private sector. The majority of new naval technology is being developed by private contracting firms rather than the U.S. government (Gasparre, 2009a). However, military leaders tend to favor traditional approaches and strategies (Gasparre, 2009b). As a result, the U.S. Navy has been slow to incorporate new technologies.
