Defense Industrial Base

The Defense Industrial Base (DIB) refers to the network of companies and organizations that produce goods and services for national defense. This includes manufacturers of weapons, aircraft, and technology, as well as suppliers of materials and support services. The DIB is crucial for ensuring that the military has the necessary resources to protect a country’s security interests. It encompasses both large corporations and smaller firms, and its health is vital for maintaining a nation’s military readiness and technological edge. Governments often collaborate with the DIB to address evolving threats and improve defense capabilities.
