The event will examine the current state of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
This seminar provides a data-driven analysis of both quantitative and qualitative factors influencing business entry, growth, and exit within the DIB. The discussion will expand from the initial event to include macroeconomic discussions of Department of War (DoW) resourcing for research and development, major weapons systems, and more.
Participants will gain insight into emerging trends affecting the DIB and their implications for acquisition outcomes. The session will highlight practical tools, data sources, and analytic approaches that DoW acquisition professionals can apply to strengthen industrial base resilience and support mission execution. The session will also address questions and recommended topics from the first session.
Aligned to Acquisition Transformation Strategy objectives, this event is designed to equip the workforce with the knowledge needed to better assess industrial base health, identify risks, and integrate small business considerations into acquisition planning and decision-making.
