Rep. Rob Wittman, chair of the House Armed Services seapower and projection forces subcommittee sits down in his trophy fish-decked office on Capitol Hill with Colin Clark and discusses the Littoral Combat Ship’s eternally delayed Mine Countermeasure Module, the late and over-budget KC-46A which is stacking up on the runway while Boeing tries to get it ready, the Navy’s MQ-25 Drone Tanker and the expansion of unmanned systems.

 

In these podcasts, Colin brings his dulcet tones and sharp wit to bear interviewing top Pentagon officials, members of Congress and defense experts. He'll bring the Farnborough and Paris air shows to your headphones, along with visits to bases and defense plants.
