Hon. Pat Shanahan, Deputy Secretary of Defense*
§ “The Department shouldn’t be setting standards, industry should be setting standards.”
§ “[DoD] knows that [industry is] going to invest, it’s just that we have to be very clear on how we want to integrate those investments and how we want to evolve certain capabilities”
§ “Our goal is to get a lot of the data into an environment where we can start making better decisions.”
§ “At the core of the recently released National Defense Strategy”; § “We must make our systems and products affordable.” § “Our biggest opportunity is to be smarter and faster when it comes to the development of these programs.”

Industrial Base Working Group (IBWG) Four Pillars to success
§ Robust, balanced and stable defense funding
§ Streamlined acquisition policy
§ A talented workforce
§ Stewardship of key capabilities
AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION (AIA)

§ Robust budgets – buy back readiness capability § Balanced funding – readiness, modernization, procurement § Stable appropriations – across fiscal years, long-term planning stability, supply chain management § Reforming the contracting process – curtail LPTA use, de-layer duplicative process, more MYP use § Improved DOD-industry dialogue, encourage innovation – risk/reward, IR&D alignment, protect IP § Synchronized defense and commercial aerospace trade policies – defense exports to trusted allies
§ Commercial export trade creates economies of scale and revenue: sustain and drive defense innovation § Invest more in STEM education to develop critical skills – traditional and emerging
§ Aero, mech, electrical plus cognitive computing, AI, machine learning, materials and data science § Modernize and accelerate the security clearance review process § Adapting business processes by embracing digital transformation – max use of data § Fostering innovative technologies – secure access to hardened microelectronics, advanced
materials that are lighter and more durable

IMPERATIVES
• Innovate, Prototype, Experiment, Demonstrate • Accelerate Innovation Loop • Be Willing to Fail
• Know and manage the risk – improve rate of return
• Match acquisition/engineering risk with operational risk
• System of Systems/Services Approach • Integration and Interoperability (I & I) is key to a Kill Web mindset • Independent Interconnected Federated Integrated Interdependent
• Modeling, Simulation, and Analytics • Live – Virtual – Constructive (LVC) Immersive Environment
• Open Architecture essential to control costs; ability to adapt, grow, match legacy to future • Cross Domain enablers
OPTIMIZE GOVERNMENT – INDUSTRY TEAM INDUSTRY MUST PARTNER WITH GOVT – “BEST ATHLETE”
