Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War the United States Defense Industrial Base has gotten smaller by mergers and acquisitions in the market place and from pressure by government legislators looking to harvest money from the Department of Defense and specifically from the Department of the Army. One approach to easing the stress on the industrial base is for the Army to use an increased number of congressionally approved multi year procurement contracts. The critics of this practice cite the loss of flexibility to reallocate funding in the Army as well as the perceived loss in oversight by members of congress who authorize and appropriate money to the services. Should the Army pursue more multi year procurement contracts to allow the defense industry to better allocate resources or should the Army continue using shorter contracts in order to maintain funding reallocation when necessary?

Download or read book The Defense Industrial Base written by Nayantara Hensel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US and international defense industrial sectors have faced many challenges over the last twenty years, including cycles of growth and shrinkage in defense budgets, shifts in strategic defense priorities, and macroeconomic volatility. In the current environment, the defense sector faces a combination of these challenges and must struggle with the need to maintain critical aspects of the defense industrial base as defense priorities change and as defense budgets reduce or plateau. Moreover, the defense sector in the US is interconnected both with defense sectors in other countries and with other industry sectors in the US and global economies. As a result, strategic decisions made in one defense sector impact the defense sectors of other countries, as well as other areas of the economy. Given her academic, corporate, and Department of Defense experience as a leading economist and policy-maker, Dr. Nayantara Hensel is perfectly positioned to examine the interrelationship between these forces both historically and in the current environment, and to assess the implications for the future global defense industrial base.

This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 48 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.

This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ninth of a new, well-received, and highly acclaimed series on critical infrastructure and homeland security, Defense Industrial Base Protection and Homeland Security is an eye-opening account and an important reference describing a complex sector. This book was designed and written to serve and advise U.S. project designers, engineers, law enforcement and security specialists, building and grounds superintendents, and managers in charge of protecting critical infrastructure in the United States. Defense Industrial Base Protection and Homeland Security discusses the elements comprising the defense industrial base sector, many of the security measures employed to protect the various entities involved, and provides guidance on improving the resilience of the defense industrial base infrastructure. This text is accessible to those who have no experience with or knowledge of the defense industrial base sector. If you work through the text systematically, you will gain an understanding of the challenge of domestic preparedness—that is, an immediate need for a heightened state of awareness of the present threat facing the defense industrial base sector members as potential terrorist targets. Moreover, you will gain knowledge of security principles and measures that can be implemented—adding a critical component not only to your professional knowledge but also give you the tools needed to combat terrorism in the homeland—our homeland, both by outsiders and insiders.
