Production runs for space-related military technology generally remains low, when in fact high production runs are needed to support viable commercial efforts in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report examined every aspect of the space industry from satellites to ground systems, networks and launch services. Of primary concern for the Pentagon is the inadequate domestic supply of aerospace structures and fibers, radiation-hardened microelectronics, radiation test and qualification facilities, and satellite components and assemblies. The future for these supplies is uncertain, the report said, despite the growing importance space represents to national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIncreasing cyber threats, non-trusted supply chains, foreign acquisitions, reliance on vulnerable foreign sources, economic policies of competitor nations (in the form of subsidies, domestic preference, etc.), and erratic demand are threats to the United States in the form of losing essential space capabilities and critical skills,\u201d the report read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon has tried to build up a stronger industrial base for space through the Space Industrial Base Capability Investment Program, which produces a list of critical technology to help mitigate risk to the industrial base. The department also has a joint effort from multiple agencies to subsidize critical sections of the commercial sector and to plan acquisitions in a way that avoids duplications and inefficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report includes few recommendations, beyond noting that risk mitigation plans for some components are unfunded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new Pentagon report notes that the space industrial base remains fragile, and despite attempts to bolster it many critical components
