Abstract:

Our national security is based upon a strategy of deterrence. In the eight years since the last Defense Science Board DSB study of the industrial base, the global political, economic, and technological scenes have changed considerably. Americas technological superiority has diminished. Many countries, including Japan and the Soviet Union, challenge our leadership in technologies essential to defense. In those same eight years, the defense industries have become global. These challenges must be met by new policies which link military and industrial strategy to assure the existence of the industrial and technological resources on which our military strategy relies. The purpose of this report is to provide the basis for government to establish and implement policies to enable both government and industry to invest in and plan for the long-term security of the nation. sdw
