CSPC Releases latest report on national defense readiness
We are pleased to share the Center's latest report, "The Gathering Storm: A Proposed Moonshot for National Defense Readiness." Amidst wars and growing instability, the United States’ once vaunted “arsenal of democracy” finds itself dangerously shrunken. This report offers detailed insights into the health of our weapons acquisition system and defense industrial base. The report aims to help the U.S. defense enterprise change course and re-establish the technological supremacy that underwrote the “American Century” and a bloodless victory in the Cold War.
