The Navy’s leader said Friday that he’s on the same page as a top lawmaker on the Hill as Congress prepares to further improve upon the Pentagon’s sluggish acquisition process.

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson emphasized the need to speed up how quickly the military can get new technology in the hands of troops, especially as the rate at which technology is developed gets faster. This is a priority for leaders on Capitol Hill as well, including Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, and chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.
