Moderator:
Wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East and the rising threat of conflict in Asia demonstrate that American and allied militaries need to increase the scale and adaptability of their defense production. Deployed forces are emptying their munitions magazines, and allied demand for ships and aircraft far outstrips supply. Meanwhile, technology proliferation allows adversaries to render legacy weapons systems obsolete. The United States and its allies will need to combine their industrial efforts to keep pace with these dynamic and intensifying security challenges.
Join Hudson Senior Fellows Bryan Clark and Nadia Schadlow for an event exploring the opportunities and challenges in implementing a more unified allied industrial base with Representative Rob Wittman (R-VA), Ambassador Hyun-dong Cho of South Korea, senior US Navy and Army officials, and leaders of major Asian and European defense firms.
