The 2024 National Defense Industrial

Strategy: Issues for Congress



January   29, 2024


The National Defense Industrial Strategy

On January 11, 2024, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) publicly released its first-ever National
Defense Industrial Strategy (NDIS). According to DOD's Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial
Base Policy-the official responsible for day-to-day oversight of the defense industrial base (DIB)-the
aim of the strategy is to guide the Department's engagement, policy development and investment in the
industrial base over the next three to five years. To do it, the NDIS identifies four long-term priorities
and describes the actions necessary to accomplish each priority (see Table 1). The NDIS also provides
details on risks and illustrative outcomes associated with each priority, as well as ten systemic
challenges facing the industrial base (these challenges are: underutilization of multi-use technologies; an
inadequate workforce; inadequate domestic production; non-competitive practices; long lead times; sub-
tier supplier fragility; lack of DOD market share; procurement instability; funding uncertainty; and
limited knowledge of ally/partner requirements).
