THE INDUSTRY-GOVERNMENT AEROSPACE RELATIONSHIP. VOLUME I. REPORT

Abstract

It is the practice of the U. S. government to depend primarily upon private industry for the conception, the research and development, and the production of defense and space systems. The achievements of industry have helped to preserve the security and the international technical reputation of the country. However, many representatives of both industry and government believe that the industry-government relationship is not as creative, productive, or satisfactory as it should be, either to the nation as a whole or to the parties directly involved. To provide bases for improving the effectiveness of this combined effort, a study was made of the industry- government aerospace relationship, which includes companies, large and small, that are contributing to the aerospace effort, together with the many government agencies concerned. The unique and especially fruitful aspects of the Relationship, as well as its weaknesses, were examined in this study. Major problems confronting both government and industry in this close association were noted, and suggestions for resolving them were made.
