By all accounts, the United States and its allies are experiencing a munitions shortfall. This event will explore — alongside known experts and advisors in the defense sector — what the realistic options are for addressing the challenge, the timeline for success, and the potential roles of incumbent suppliers, competitors, and new entrants.
Stimson is pleased to announce that this webinar is the first in a new series, “Masters of the Defense Industrial Base: Past, Present, and Future”, which will hold periodic events focused on the realities of, options for, and associated risks with respect to enhancing the defense industrial base (DIB). The series is co-moderated by Jeff Bialos and Brett Lambert, Stimson Center board members and former U.S. government officials who served as stewards of the DIB.
