According to DOD's Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy-the official responsible for day-to-day oversight of the defense industrial base (DIB)-the aim of the strategy is to guide the Department's engagement, policy development and investment in the industrial base over the next three to five years. To do it, the NDIS identifies four long-term priorities and describes the actions necessary to accomplish each priority (see Table 1). The NDIS also provides details on risks and illustrative outcomes associated with each priority, as well as ten systemic challenges facing the industrial base (these challenges are: underutilization of multi-use technologies; an inadequate workforce; inadequate domestic production; non-competitive practices; long lead times; sub- tier supplier fragility; lack of DOD market share; procurement instability; funding uncertainty; and limited knowledge of ally/partner requirements).
