US Defence Industry Policy
Author: Jacques S. Gansler
Volume 3, Number 2 (June 2007), pp. 1-17.
Abstract
This article urges the US Government to take the lead in engineering a transformation of the US defence industrial base through a focus on net-centric systems-of-systems; insisting on materiel superiority and affordability; adequate funding of ‘disruptive’ innovations; competition on a ‘best value’ basis; capturing the benefits of globalization; up-skilling the government acquisition workforce; replacing the defence logistic system with a world class supply chain, and encouraging greater integration of civil and military industrial plants.
