Gates announced funding cuts earlier this month, some in the defense industry shuddered. But for others, the announced cuts will generate new opportunities to revitalize older systems.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not unusual for a program termination to refocus attention on an older program, but analysts said this shift may become more common as the Pentagon&#8217;s budget tightens and it is forced to work with the equipment it already owns.<\/p>\n<p>This time around, Gates announced the Defense Department will end a Marine Corps vehicle program with prime contractor General Dynamics and will instead direct money toward repairing and upgrading its existing amphibious assault vehicle, built by BAE Systems. Additionally, he delayed part of Lockheed Martin&#8217;s F-35 strike-fighter aircraft program and said the Pentagon would buy more of Boeing&#8217;s F\/A-18 aircraft. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who hasn&#8217;t seen this before and can accurately predict the outcome; When Defense Secretary Robert M. &hellip; <a title=\"Those who fail to learn from history&#8230;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=21907\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Those who fail to learn from history&#8230;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21907\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
