This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of a technologically superior defense industrial base has been a foundation of U.S. strategy since 1945. While the implementation of the budget cuts in the Budget Control Act of 2011 has caused concerns for the industrial base, the resulting debate has been lacking in empirical analysis. The purpose of this research is to measure the impact of the current defense drawdown across all the tiers of the industrial base. This report analyzes prime and subprime Defense Department contract data to measures the impacts of the drawdown by sector to better understand how prime and subprime contractors have responded to this external market shock.

Book excerpt: Eisenhower's warning about undue influence, rather than the need to maintain American military strength, tends to dominate contemporary discussions of the US defense industrial base. While the percentage of US gross domestic product going to national defense remains low compared to the 1950s and 1960s, there is a growing list of defense programs that have experienced problems with cost, schedule, and, in a few cases, weapon performance. In fairness, the federal government, including the Department of Defense and Congress, is at least as much to blame for many of these programmatic difficulties as US defense firms. Nevertheless, those critical of the defense industry tend to concentrate on these acquisition shortcomings. The main focus of this report is on a larger question. How prepared is the US defense industrial base to meet the needs of the US military Services in coming decades? The Cold War challenge of Soviet power has largely ebbed, but new challenges have emerged. There is the immediate threat of the violence stemming from Salafi- Takfiri and Khomeinist terrorist groups and their state sponsors, that have consumed so much American blood and treasure in Iraq; the longer-term challenge of authoritarian capitalist regimes epitomized by the rise of China and a resurgent Russia; and, not least, the worsening problem of proliferation, particularly of nuclear weapons. In the face of these more complex and varied challenges, it would surely be premature to begin dismantling the US defense industry. From a competitive perspective, therefore, the vital question about the defense industrial base is whether it will be as much a source of long-term advantage in the decades ahead as it has been since the 1950s.
Book Synopsis Manufacturing Technology: Cornerstone of a Renewed Defense Industrial Base by :
Download or read book Manufacturing Technology: Cornerstone of a Renewed Defense Industrial Base written by and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. defense industrial base is deteriorating. Long lead times to procure weapon systems, high costs, uncertain quality, and dependence on procurement of electronic components from other countries are symptoms of a decline in the capability of the U.S. defense industrial base. A primary cause of this decline is the failure of the Department of Defense (DOD) and its contractors in the U.S. defense industry to invest sufficiently in manufacturing technology. The lack of investment reflects DOD's history of concentrating its resources and attention on product technology rather than process technology. As we described in our initial report, The Role of the Department of Defense in Supporting Manufacturing Technology Development, existing procurement policies and regulations do not provide sufficient investment incentives to contractors. Therefore, direct funding for some manufacturing technology development will have to be provided by DOD.
Book Synopsis Manufacturing Insecurity by : Joel S. Yudken
Download or read book Manufacturing Insecurity written by Joel S. Yudken and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Bush Administration's first term, even as America's armed forces were fighting wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq, the Pentagon embraced policies to globalize the American defense industrial base. Rather than relying on its traditional U.S. suppliers, the Pentagon increased both its openness to shopping overseas for weapons systems, and its tolerance for foreign purchases of U.S. defense businesses. Pentagon officials argued that the foreign sourcing of products, components, and materials would actually be a good thing for all but the most defense-critical technologies, even claiming that this would lead to faster innovation while cutting costs. Defense industry officials have echoed this position, arguing that the Department of Defense (DOD) should not be restricted to domestic suppliers for its products. The purpose of this report is to examine the extent of this unraveling, and the resulting weakening of America's defense industrial capacity in the coming decades. The approach taken here, however, is different than other efforts to assess the defense industrial base and its reliance on foreign sources of supply for critical items. Instead, the study reported on here analyzes a large body of evidence, drawn from industry and government sources, the professional literature, and many other sources, in an effort to examine the extent that the deterioration of the overall U.S. manufacturing base is contributing to the erosion of the nation's defense industrial base. That is, its focus is on assessing the health and competitiveness of the nation's civilian industrial base upon which a strong defense industrial base, including the ability to produce specialized defense-critical products, ultimately rests.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the start of the cold war the defense industrial complex has been a substantial contributor to the military element of U.S. national power. However while the U.S. military demonstrated superb performance in Afghanistan and Iraq many were surprised by disappointing examples of the defense industry's failures to respond to surge requirements and its reliance on foreign suppliers. There are many reasons for the failures both on the industry side and on the department of defense (DoD) side but is the defense industry in decline? While the current business environment presents challenges for defense contractors such as globalization mergers reduced demand and pricing pressure from foreign sources the DoD is also experiencing challenges associated with transformation budget pressures and an unanticipated level of deployment requirements associated with a new threat and the global war on terrorism. Without adequate and practical assessment tools and policy adequate funding and an industry transformation to address these challenges U.S. security could be at risk. This paper examines the current defense industry and the national security environment and it suggests recommendations to set conditions to enable the defense industrial base to provide innovative and affordable capabilities to the nation at war while transforming.

Military and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-10-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This excellent report was released in October 2018. America's manufacturing and defense industrial base ("the industrial base") supports economic prosperity and global competitiveness, and arms the military with capabilities to defend the nation. Currently, the industrial base faces an unprecedented set of challenges: sequestration and uncertainty of government spending; the decline of critical markets and suppliers; unintended consequences of U.S. Government acquisition behavior; aggressive industrial policies of competitor nations; and the loss of vital skills in the domestic workforce. Combined, these challenges - or macro forces - erode the capabilities of the manufacturing and defense industrial base and threaten the Department of Defense's (DoD) ability to be ready for the "fight tonight," and to retool for great power competition. The following report explains the macro forces impacting the industrial base, identifies primary categories of risk, illustrates impacts within sectors, and provides recommendations for mitigation.I. Executive Summary * II. Introduction * III. Methodology * IV. An Overview of America's Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base * V. Five Macro Forces Driving Risk into America's Industrial Base * VI. Ten Risk Archetypes Threatening America's Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base * VII. A Blueprint for Action * Appendix One: Executive Order 13806 * Appendix Two: Sector Summaries * Appendix Three: Contributing U.S. Government Agencies * Appendix Four: U.S. Government Sources * Appendix Five: Industry Listening Sessions * Appendix Six: Agreements with Foreign GovernmentsTo provide for our national security, America's manufacturing and defense industrial base must be secure, robust, resilient, and ready. To ensure taxpayer dollars are frugally and wisely spent, the defense industrial base must be cost-effective, cost-efficient, highly productive, and not unduly subsidized. In the event of contingencies, the industrial base must possess sufficient surge capabilities. Above all, America's manufacturing and defense industrial base must support economic prosperity, be globally competitive, and have the capabilities and capacity to rapidly innovate and arm our military with the lethality and dominance necessary to prevail in any conflict.All facets of the manufacturing and defense industrial base are currently under threat, at a time when strategic competitors and revisionist powers appear to be growing in strength and capability.
Book Synopsis Meeting U. S. Defense Needs in Space by : Ronald B. Cole
Download or read book Meeting U. S. Defense Needs in Space written by Ronald B. Cole and published by . This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. defense industrial base (DIB) deterioration and increased DOD interest in space exploitation highlights the U.S. satellite industry as one DIB sector requiring analysis. Despite DIB problems, this industry must maintain the capability to produce advanced satellites for the DOD. Commercial Military Integration (CMI) will, according to experts, eliminate problems inherent with a separate DIB. This research focused on investigating satellite industry capability to meet DOD space requirements. Through literature review, case study analysis and interviews, effects of a shrinking DIB on the satellite industry were determined. A model for DIB strength was developed and analyzed through literature review. General Electric Aircraft Engines (GEAE) case study showed the potential for commercializing the DIB. Research focused on satellite industry executives whose perspectives illustrated industry capability to meet defense space needs. Results indicated continued DIB deterioration unless Government and defense industry leaders intervene. GEAE sales performance demonstrated how commercializing the DIB can provide stability. Interviews confirmed the satellite industry's ability to meet defense needs, yet space architecture and launch vehicle issues must be addressed. Through flexible manufacturing, dual use and smaller, smart satellites/satellite services, this industry can produce high quality, inexpensive satellites for defense/commercial markets faster, providing additional surge/mobilization capability.
