Pentagon eyes cuts to pay for high-tech weapons By Andrea Shalal-Esa Reuters April 16, 2002 (7:11 p.m. EST) eetimes.com WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the heads of the U.S. military services have kicked off serious budget negotiations for fiscal 2004, eyeing cuts in some big weapons systems to get in place more cutting-edge technologies like pilotless aircraft. Defense officials said Rumsfeld met on Monday (April 15) with Army Secretary Thomas White, Navy Secretary Gordon England and Air Force Secretary James Roche — all of whom came to the military after corporate careers — to discuss the 2004 budget. Rumsfeld and his team want to shift the Pentagon's spending priorities as part of their drive to modernize a military still characterized by many Cold War-era weapons systems. They aim to emphasize newer technology-driven weapons like unpiloted air and sea vehicles and space surveillance systems.
