Weapons Industry. Industry Study, Spring 2007
Abstract
The Weapons Industry includes products that span from munitions, delivery systems, uninhabited vehicles, to sensors. The U.S. government procures these products, which are produced by both government organizations, such as depots, and commercial firms across the globe. Competition is replacing consolidation within the industry and the government needs to maintain domestic weapons production capability to include multiple sources and surge capacity. Action is required to ensure that a qualified and technically capable workforce is available to support the industry. The government must also develop guidelines to ensure the proper balance between safeguarding critical technical data with international cooperative weapons development.
