Mr. Kendall has served as the Undersecretary of Defense for AT&L since 2012.

At while at the podium, Mr. Kendall spoke in detail on the need for the United States to maintain its military superiority through strategic investments in private technology companies, and understanding the difference between simply having the availability of resources, and the availability of resources to help drive innovation, and emphasizing that the virtue of America is that we are “self-correcting.”
