What I like about this is the focus. We don't seem to have the resources or wherewithal to have a complete army/navy/air force that are all modern and well-maintained. If we specialized in something we might be able to make more meaningful (high technology/unique) contributions to world security. Maybe instead of drones we pick a specific ship-type or two and focus on building/selling/contributing those.
