Securing the Defense Industrial Base: Supply Chain Resilience Under Fire
Introduction The nature of strategic competition is changing. In previous eras, military power was measured primarily through troop strength, weapons inventories, and battlefield performance. Today, an equally decisive contest is unfolding far from traditional battlefields—inside factories, semiconductor foundries, software repositories, logistics networks, cloud platforms, and supplier ecosystems that sustain modern military capability. The wars in…
