Land Combat Systems Industry Report, Industrial College of the Armed Forces Academic Year 2004-2005
Abstract
The end of the Cold War initiated an era of reevaluation and transformation as national strategic leaders sought to assess and respond to changing global challenges. The U.S. Land Combat Systems (LCS) industry is an integral part of the Department of Defense's continuing transformational efforts. After more than a decade of industry turmoil as evidenced by company downsizing and mergers, the LCS industry appears to have stabilized. For the surviving companies, the short-term economic prospects appear promising, given the few companies remaining and the high demand for land combat vehicles currently conducting operations in the Global War on Terror (GWOT). Moreover, continuing transformation efforts will potentially infuse $2 billion per year over the next 20 years to ensure the development, production, and fielding of land combat systems capable of rapid response to virtually any corner of the globe with a minimum logistics footprint.
