Executives and acquirers in the defense sector face a number of challenges and strategic questions as they seek to generate value during a time of great change for the industry. The post-Iraq/Afghanistan security environment remains highly unstable, and next-generation threats loom large in the minds of U.S. defense planners. Re-allocation of budgets to support more advanced platforms, systems and services is creating winners and losers as DoD and US allies prepare to face future threats.

A sampling of strategic issues for the years ahead includes:
  • The outlook for the Department of Defense base budget and the impact of changing budget dynamics on strategy and planning
  • The outlook for the Overseas Contingency Operations budget, and potential spillover impact on platforms and systems as overseas activity winds down
  • The shifting mix of capabilities required to meet next-generation threats is driving force structure decisions which ultimately affect platforms, systems, technologies and services
  • The role and implementation of cybersecurity (both defensive and offensive) in the defense and intelligence establishment
  • The role and impact of industrial base planning in ensuring that the United States maintains critical capabilities which may be called upon to a more significant degree in the future
  • The evolution of unmanned systems – and related intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems – as the U.S. and its allies develop more sophisticated, long-range capabilities that can survive in non-permissive environments
  • International procurement outlook in light of the changing global security situation and U.S. force planning
