On August 11, Forward Defense senior fellow Steven Grundman was featured as a panelist at Politico’s annual Defense Summit, where he highlighted risks and opportunities facing the US industrial base. He and other panelists spoke about how to best optimize the US industrial base to address the rapidly changing security environment.
We are working from the industrial base that we bought relative to the needs we had for it up until February 2022.
