Some decline in our defense industrial base is inevitable, but policies or procurement strategies can help focus this base to support aerospace power and national security for the next 20 years. To support this assertion, this paper will first outline causes of change in our defense industrial base (DIB). It will then present some criteria for decision making regarding these changes and the needs of aerospace power in the coming decades, focused on technological edge and production capability. Within a domestic and global defense environment, these topics will be pursued regarding possible policies for the DIB. Finally benefits, costs, and risks of such policies will be reviewed. This is a complex topic for such a brief format, but it is vital for ongoing aerospace planning.
