Annual Industrial Capabilities Report to Congress

Abstract

As we enter the 21st Century, the United States faces a dynamic security environment marked by dramatic geopolitical, military, economic and technological change. The United States and its coalition partners must successfully navigate this transformation to ensure that the new century is more peaceful and stable than the one we have left behind. To successfully meet our responsibilities in this environment, the Department of Defense (DoD) must rely upon a competitive and robust defense industry that can produce the innovative, high quality and affordable products needed to meet U.S. national security goals. Within the emerging global security environment, this report discusses DoD's industrial capabilities-related policies, objectives and analyses. It also discusses cooperative actions between U.S. allies and industrial partners to establish an appropriate framework for industrial linkages that can facilitate interoperability among weapons systems, improve coalition warfighting capabilities, and leverage efficiencies and continued competition for defense goods and services.
