Defense Technology Perception
Public sentiment frames national defense technology as strong but not dominant: many people acknowledge meaningful capabilities, yet few view the country as the unquestioned global leader. This nuanced perception shapes public confidence in deterrence and influences support for policy choices—favoring steady investment and partnerships over complacent assumptions of superiority. The surprising gap between perceived competence and perceived dominance suggests opportunities for clearer communication about strengths, targeted investments to close critical gaps, and coalition-building to bolster deterrence credibly. Explore these insights to understand how public belief in a limited technological lead steers both strategy and the politics of defense spending.
