Industrial Preparedness in an Arms Control Environment; A Study of the Potential Impact of Sharp Increases in Military Procurement. Volume 1. Summary Report
Abstract
This is a summary of the full report of a study of the U.S. industrial preparedness system against the background of arms control programs. The study is an effort in examining possible relationships between the Government's capacity to mobilize U.S. industry through the Defense Mobilization System and the evolving activities and responsibilities of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. It is innovative in its use of economic input/output techniques integrated with detailed industry-centered, and weapon-system- centered, studies to gauge the likely impact of sharp increases or decreases in defense procurement on the U. S. industrial system. The study pulls together on an unclassified basis a comprehensive, quantitative and qualitative description of current U.S. defense production and procurement programs, covering both conventional and strategic weapon systems.
