According to CNBC, the Pentagon is tapping Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, defense technology entrepreneur and Anduril co-founder Palmer Luckey, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to identify the military capabilities, technologies and weapons the U.S. may need in future wars. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the initiative, called Project Meridian, will spend 120 days looking years and decades ahead at how warfare could change and what capabilities the U.S. military will need to maintain a technological edge. Hegseth said Project Meridian is not about developing new strategies or policies, but about identifying the domains the U.S. must conquer and the capabilities it must master.
