The Department of Defense (DOD) released the Fiscal Year 2020 Industrial Capabilities Report on January 14, 2021.
The FY20 Industrial Capabilities Report outlines the defense department’s priority industrial base risks and vulnerabilities; major developments and impacts of the coronavirus pandemic; and industrial base investments and initiatives executed in the previous fiscal year. The report promotes a strategy for a robust, resilient, secure, and innovative industrial base, which will require a substantial commitment of capital investment and resources, and continuation of the reforms undertaken in the past several years.
