Build Defense Capabilities for the 21st Century

# Fully Equip Our Troops for the Missions They Face
ξ Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe we must get essential equipment to our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines before lives are lost.

# Review Weapons Programs
ξ We must rebalance our capabilities to ensure that our forces can succeed in both conventional wars and
ξ in stabilization and counter-insurgency operations.
ξ Obama and Biden have committed to a review of each major defense program in light of current needs, gaps in the field,
ξ and likely future threat scenarios in the post-9/11 world.

# Preserve Global Reach in the Air:
ξ We must preserve our unparalleled airpower capabilities
ξ to deter and defeat any conventional competitors,
ξ swiftly respond to crises across the globe, and support our ground forces.
ξ We need greater investment in advanced technology ranging from
ξ the revolutionary, like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
ξ and electronic warfare capabilities,
ξ to essential systems like the C-17 cargo and KC-X air refueling aircraft,
ξ which provide the backbone of our ability to extend global power.

# Maintain Power Projection at Sea:
ξ We must recapitalize our naval forces,
ξ replacing aging ships and modernizing existing platforms, while adapting them to the 21st century.
ξ Obama and Biden will add to the Maritime Pre-Positioning Force Squadrons
ξ to support operations ashore
ξ and invest in smaller, more capable ships,
ξ providing the agility to operate close to shore
ξ and the reach to rapidly deploy Marines to global crises.

# National Missile Defense:
ξ The Obama-Biden administration will support missile defense,
ξ but ensure that it is developed in a way that is pragmatic and cost-effective;
ξ and, most importantly, does not divert resources from other national security priorities
ξ until we are positive the technology will protect the American public.

# Ensure Freedom of Space:
ξ The Obama-Biden administration will restore American leadership on space issues,
ξ seeking a worldwide ban on weapons that interfere with military and commercial satellites.
ξ They will thoroughly assess possible threats to U.S. space assets and
ξ the best options, military and diplomatic, for countering them,
ξ establishing contingency plans to ensure that U.S. forces can maintain or duplicate access to information from space assets
ξ and accelerating programs to harden U.S. satellites against attack.

Protect the U.S in Cyberspace:
ξ The Obama-Biden administration cooperate with our allies and the private sector to identify and protect against emerging cyber-threats.

Of the People, By the People

The issues most important to you:
ξ Defence
ξ Economy
ξ Energy & Environment

Your Ideas
Change the approach of solving challenges in each sector and create more integrated changes.

Change unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) investments to network-centric systems (UAS),
which can be rapidly deployed to remote and demanding theaters and
which are capable to collaborate both with manned and unmanned aerial and ground systems.

Change defense investments to include defense, security and energy sectors.

Change focus from just defense UAV to UAS for defense (needs energy & must migitate emissions),
for energy (needs defense for protection) and for security (to secure energy resources).
Changing from just one mission to multi-mission capabilities of these systems will save money in production and increase their export.

Change Cyberspace protection to include other sectors such as energy.
Modern computer technology is embedded inside networked energy systems
such as electricity nuclear power and oil&gas, and vulnerable to terrorist attacks.

Change development of isolated energy and environment solutions to a new strategy of creating portfolios of changes.

Obama to reassure NATO's Baltic allies Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania that the alliance will stand with them should Moscow turn its attention to them
will stress that the alliance's Article 5 commitment to the common defense of each member is an ironclad guarantee
one challenge for Obama on the trip will be to persuade NATO leaders to step up defense spending
European governments have lagged in their commitment to provide 2 percent of GDP to defense because of lingering economic woes

BTS Releases 3rd Quarter 2016 Airline Financial Data - labour cost were 34.3 percent
The 25 U.S. scheduled service passenger airlines
reported an after-tax net profit as a group for the 14th consecutive quarter.

In addition to the after-tax net profit of $3.8 billion based on net income reports,
the scheduled service passenger airlines reported a $7.2 billion pre-tax operating profit
in the third quarter of 2016,
down from $7.9 billion in the second quarter of 2016 and
down from $8.8 billion in the third quarter of 2015.

The airlines reported a pre-tax operating profit - as a group - for the 22nd consecutive quarter.

Net profit or loss and operating profit or loss are two different measures of airline financial performance.
Net profit or loss includes non-operating income and expenses,
nonrecurring items or income taxes.

Operating profit or loss is calculated from operating revenues and expenses
before taxes and other nonrecurring items.

Total operating revenue for all U.S. passenger airlines in the July-September third-quarter of 2016 was $44.4 billion.
Airlines collected $33.3 billion from fares,
75.1 percent of total third-quarter operating revenue.

Total operating expenses for all passenger airlines in the third-quarter of 2016 were $37.2 billion,
of which fuel costs accounted for $6.1 billion, or 16.4 percent, and
labor costs accounted for $12.7 billion, or 34.3 percent.

In the third quarter, passenger airlines collected a total of $1.1 billion in baggage fees,
2.5 percent of total operating revenue, and
$731 million from reservation change fees, 1.7 percent of total operating revenue.
Fees are included for calculations of net income, operating revenue and operating profit or loss.

Baggage fees and reservation change fees are the only ancillary fees paid by passengers
that are reported to BTS as separate items.
Other fees, such as revenue from seating assignments and
on-board sales of food, beverages, pillows, blankets, and entertainment
are combined in different categories and cannot be identified separately.

From domestic operations, U.S. scheduled passenger airlines reported an after-tax net profit of $2.6 billion
in the third quarter of 2016, down from $3.3 billion in the second quarter of 2016 and
down from $5.7 billion in the third quarter of 2015.

In addition to the after-tax net profit of $2.6 billion based on net income reports,
the scheduled service passenger airlines reported a $5.4 billion pre-tax operating profit
from domestic operations in the third quarter of 2016,
down from $6.1 billion in the second quarter of 2016 and
down from $6.2 billion in the third quarter of 2015.
The airlines reported a pre-tax operating profit from domestic operations - as a group - for the 22nd consecutive quarter.

From international operations, U.S. scheduled passenger airlines reported an after-tax net profit of $1.2 billion
in the third quarter of 2016, down from $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2016 and down from $3.6 billion in the third quarter of 2015.

The 17 U.S. scheduled service passenger airlines that operate internationally
reported an after-tax net profit from international operations as a group for the seventh consecutive quarter.

In addition to the after-tax net profit of $1.2 billion based on net income reports,
the scheduled service passenger airlines reported a $1.8 billion pre-tax operating profit
from international operations in the third quarter of 2016,
unchanged from $1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2016 and
down from $2.6 billion in the second quarter of 2015.
The airlines reported a pre-tax operating profit from international operations - as a group - for the 18th consecutive quarter.
