Summary The Defense Innovation Initiative -- also referred to as the Third Offset Strategy -- was announced in November 2014, aiming to "identify and invest in innovative ways to sustain and advance U.S. military dominance for the 21st century." To address the erosion of U.S. technological superiority and conventional deterrence, the U.S. Department of Defense announced an ambitious innovation-based program to offset the competition particularly from states in a long-term perspective. The assessments that served as the basis for this strategy -- the rapid modernization of China's defense, emerging Russian ambitions and capabilities, the need to foster exchanges between public and commercial actors in defense innovation, and the general spread of precision munitions and guided weapon systems -- have remained relevant after the 2016 elections, and U.S. allies must consider how this initiative may affect their military cooperation in the long run. This analysis is part of a series of responses to the initiative from U.S. allies
