This study examines the ability of the lower tiers--the subcontractors and suppliers--of the U.S. domestic defense industrial base to meet the peacetime needs of the Department of Defense in terms of (a) the possibility of too few suppliers; (b) how the conduct of DoD business may be influencing suppliers to leave or stay in government business; (c) how DoD buying practices affect the efficiency of weapon systems acquisition; (d) how the DoD, Congress, and courts interact in policymaking decisions that affect the adequacy and efficiency of the lower tiers. To compile data for the analysis, 13 system program offices were surveyed at two Air Force product divisions: Aeronautical Systems Division and the Space and Missile Systems Organization. Included were 4 communication satellite, 2 missile, and 7 aircraft programs. The authors conclude that fears about peacetime erosion of the industrial base are largely unfounded, but some buying practices do increase costs.

The capacity of the defense industrial base to meet the need as of modernizing the strategic and tactical forces has been a continuing concern since the building up of forces started in the early 1980s. The focus of this paper is to examine the adequacy of the defense industrial base to meet the needs of Precision Guided Munitions (PGMs) along with other defense requirements in the expanding economy of the 1980s. The economic assessment method uses input-output analysis and macroeconomic forecasting models to identify impacted industries, to estimate growth in sales and potential for employment opportunity, and to determine industrial base adequacy. Specifically, the input-output analysis as embodied in the Defense Economic Impact Modeling System (DEIMS) and the industry supply responsiveness contained in the Industrial Capacity Monitoring Systems (ICMS) are used to determine if PGM programs will face or create capacity and price pressures in key industries. Based on the analysis of bottleneck pressures. Since less than 1% of this bottleneck sector is required for PGM production, the impact in this industrial sector is considered minimal.

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.
