Title:
Defense Supplier Base: Challenges and Policy Considerations Regarding Offshoring and Foreign Investment Risks
Report Date:
2019-09-01
Abstract:
DOD relies on a globalized network of suppliers for the components and technologies involved in its weapons systems. Domestic companies that offshore their operations or accept foreign investment can help DOD save money and access more technology. But a globalized supply chain can also make it harder for DOD to get what it needs if, for example, other countries cut off U.S. access to critical supplies.
