Keeping the Defense Industrial Base Afloat During COVID-19: A Review of Department of Defense and Federal Government Policies and Investments in the Defense Industrial Base

Abstract

This report stems from a small, exploratory analysis that monitored evolving Defense Industrial Base stressors during the early phases of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (through mid-2020) with the goal of identifying potential data collection opportunities to learn about supply chain resiliency. This analysis, which summarizes part of the project's efforts, uses open source data and descriptive analytics to explore Department of Defense and federal investments in the Defense Industrial Base, especially the Paycheck Protection Program.
