We have a software crisis.

There's just no time to wait.

If you don't have that sense of urgency, we're not going to accomplish what we need to do.

You can build the most advanced equipment.

You can produce it at the largest scale possible.

But if you can't get it, where it's needed, when it's needed, it doesn't exist.

There's always been collective defense, but not necessary collective logistics.

Any one nation can't do it alone.

Whatever we're modernizing now, this is not going to be the last update.

Software is never complete. Software is moving incredibly fast.

The best type of war you fight is one that you don't have to fight at all.

The largest companies in the world today are software companies.

And many of these companies have become household names for developing fun software.

Software that powers the games we play, the apps we scroll,

software that helps run our lives and manage our work.

But the world also needs serious software.

The kind of software that runs the autonomous vehicles in San

Francisco, the software that ensures planes take off and land safely, the software

that ensures critical supplies make it to our shores and equally the front lines of

our military, even in contested environments. The challenge across the commercial

sector and the public sector, much of this serious software is built on legacy technology.

And with the world moving at the speed of software, our infrastructure gets more brittle with each passing year.
