Calls for reform emerge due to the long-term poor performance of U.S. defense companies

Dod: US defense industry companies and contractors have long performed poorly

Michael Kadner, Assistant Secretary of the Department of War Industrial Base Policy, stated on Tuesday at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing that the performance of US defense industrial base contractors and weapons system suppliers has long been unsatisfactory.

Kadner pointed out at the hearing: "The Department of War acknowledges that the work of the industrial base and weapons system contractors has been generally disappointing over the long term."

He added that this is precisely why the Department of War is actively committed to reforming production and strengthening the defense industrial base to ensure it meets the needs of the armed forces.
