The demise of the Soviet Union marked the 'official' end of the Cold War with the United States the clear winner. For the defense industry, this has accelerated the reductions in spending. The impact is a smaller industrial base with far less capacity. Employing new manufacturing technologies while reducing the government regulatory burden will keep the industry viable for potential future needs.
