This year’s iteration of Vital Signs: The Health and Readiness of the Defense Industrial Base marks the third consecutive year that the National Defense Industrial Association offers an unclassified analysis of the state and performance of America’s defense industrial base as an enterprise.
Accessible to both the American public and defense policy community, Vital Signs strives to provide a comprehensive assessment of the resiliency of the defense sector by standardizing and integrating a set of criteria that reviews its performance in the context of the overall business environment.
The report frames the health of the defense industrial base as essential to economic and national security and does not examine individual companies or the Defense Department specifically, but rather the challenging business environment in which all stakeholders operate.
