▪ Decades-long shift from dual-use contractors to defense
prime contractors led to consolidation in the manufacturing
and supply chain base
▪ At the very same time, the U.S. began to shift its economy to
an asset-light model and real-time inventory planning which
led to offshoring U.S. manufacturing and supply chain
industries
▪ Small and mid-sized firms are central to building a resilient
supply network in sectors like aerospace and propulsion
