Industry Study 5240-14: Final Reports Munitions

Abstract

Like other defense industries, the munitions industry has undergone significant change during the past two decades. Three major factors, the end of the Cold War, the subsequent revolution in military affairs, and the increasing reluctance of the American public to accept loss of life and collateral damage in war, have dramatically affected the industry. The munitions industry is vital to US national security. To maintain its viability, a comprehensive and integrated focus on jointness, supplier health, information technology, and acquisition reform is imperative.
